Today I decided to start working on a more permenant solution.
I cut a 12"x6" piece of aluminum and mounted it to the top of the glovebox opening. There were already two mounting holes. So I mounted the plate at those two points. In the upper dash area behind the glovebox area there is a mounting point for the wire loom. It just so happens to have two holes and one was unused. In the unused spot I installed an L bracket that connects to the 12"x6" plate providing a very sturdy mount.
I had to cut a 1" deep by 1 9/16" section out of the plate so that the glovebox door could properly close and latch.
Now that I have that plate cut and installed I can work on a way to mount the radio to that plate.
Radio dimensions;
4" 3/4" deep by 7" wide.
