I hacked out my original because the PO had already hacked it years ago to put in a cassette player.

Here is an adaptor plate.

It was nothing more than what rydoc said he did, above. It was a typical repro bezel cut to accept the plastic adapter for a single DIN radio. (although the plastic adapter came with it and was attached)
Same here, only it looked like Ray Charles cut it out with a chainsaw. I returned it, got a used one and cut it out myself.
