Double din mounting brackets?
Hey all,
Just did hvac relocation in my evo 8. Went to put my double din in and forgot that i dont have mounting brackets
What does everyone use? Called mitsu and asked the guy in parts if i can buy stock double din brackets for an evo 8. He kinda laughed and said uhhh evo8/9 only come with a single din lol
So, if you put a double din in ur evo, please tell me what u used to mount it
Thanks

I would also like to know for future reference. They usually come with a cage. That would be fine for a single din, but the doubles usually weigh quite a bit. I installed a double din for a mate with an s15, and we just bought some cheap, thin(ish) right angle brackets from the hardware store and kind of made our own.

just installed a double din this weekend. used "corner reinforment" brackets from a hardware store. was about 3 bucks for 4 of them in a pack. worked like a champ, drilled a hole between the 2 holes for the oem bracket and it lined up just right. good luck

i used some hardware store metal brackets, that came in sort of a roll. i got the correct length i just bent them a tad and was able to mount perfectly with no problems. most audio shops will try and be dicks and say they dont have the brackets and they want to do the job for you, but dont listen to that crap. just make your own, its the easiest and cheapest way to do it.

as popular as this mod is some one should post a DIY thread with pictures. in the next 2 weeks i should have my double din face plate from http://www.japanparts.com/db/parts_d...UMBER=00022810 then the head unit/tv. i already received my HVAC relocation kit so i say 2 weeks and i should be able to provide parts list and pictures of the install. i plan to try to use factory brackets if possible if not expect pictures of custom fab brackets from auto/hardware stores.

I just installed mine last night, I used stock bracket, my radio had a couple sets of holes on the side so I used one of the top hole towards the front of the radio and the bottom hole towards the back of the radio, so the bracket will angle upwards towards the front. Now the only issue I had was that the hole for the double din face plate bezel is slightly larger than my radio, there is a small gap around the face of the radio, so I am kinda puzzled, does not look like a clean install.
