OK...here is a picture.... note the little tabs bent over to lock it against the backside of the bezel. On the frontside you want to ensure that the Trim plate goes down first...and the this sleeve goes in. Snug it up against the trim plate and bend the tabs over.

Your new DIN stereo will then go in and latch.





This was with an old DIN stereo I had laying around. The new one I bought had different tabs, but I was able to bend them against the backside of the bezel and it's in there nice and snug.
On My 71, which was hacked up.
I did the above, used an old mount from Wal Mart, and then made the Din cover out of wood (oak) , Painted it with Fiberglass, sanded it and painted it black. Looks great.

I bought one from you in eBay. It fits nicely but, when you bend the tabs, the paint comes off and the corner looks bad. I was a little disappointed by this as now I'll have to repaint. Not a huge deal, but in that case, I probably could have made something like this myself.

I appreciate your entrepreneurship but I would recommend bending the tabs and shipping it painted and ready to go. I think it's also priced $5-10 too high, but with the American International product out of stock, it's your market to corner

here's the 10 buck thing. Just call them to see if they have them. Works fine and lasts a long time.
