Hi there.
Sorry if I´m posting this in the wrong forum, I´m a newbie on Passionford, and furthermore I´m Danish so my english is probably quite bad too. But I really need a little help.

I have a wonderful Sierra GT 1992, and wanting to upgrade the stereo a little, my eyes fell on a combi player on Ebay. It has a 7" screen(touch) that slides out from the unit when you turn it on.
The standard radio is mounted low and is placed fairly deep in the dash, so I am a little worried, that the 7" screen won´t fit once opened. (hope you understand)
I thought about moving the unit up where the cassette holder and the clock is, but my questions are: Is it possible to find a readymade holder to go instead of the clock and cassette holder? Does anyone have pictures showing how they have done it?

Thanks in advance, hope you´ll find a little time to help me.

Sorry again for the bad english. We danes are probably better at drawing "funny" cartoons at the moment.

i made a plate up for mine for it to go in the center air vents, and then some small brakets to hold it all in place. wasent too hard, will try and find some pics as it is no longer installed

Sounds really great. So there´s enough room at the back to install the stereo.
I haven´t pulled it all apart yet and checked.

What material did you use? Aluminium or some kind of wood?

i used alloy sheet about 5 mm thick.
there us enough room once you remove the vents and piping. then blank off from the heater ..
im not home till sunday so will try and find pics then

you need to blank off the heater vent otherwise it gets way too hot

everything else though is just fine as there is plenty of space behind for all the whiry bits to go AND you can remove the clock bit to gain more asscess

the only problems you will face are that you need to get the instrument cluster out if you want to remove the surround and there is a clip on the vent wide that will break if you pull it off so you need to get behind it with a small screwdriver and unscrew it

when it's in bits you'll know what i'm talking about
