The bottom pocket helps alot, and a spike at the back holds the back end upwards... Aerpro have a single DIN facia kit available nowadays...

Ronwest's idea would be the best way, I put mine in using a similar method.

and the unit sits damn tight in the surround so wouldnt the screws need to be counter sunk?

Bend in some of the tabs on the new cage. That'll stop it from moving around a little bit. Then put in a pocket and it'll pretty much sit still.

That pic is my Sony install but I drilled new holes for my recent JVC install. The mounting hole is actually a little wider than the hu bracket so no countersinking req but the bracket does need a little straightening afterwards, lol. You may find it easier to remove the centre fascia (4 screws and pull it out) in order to get in there. |

Come on Henri, your a mod, you should know where the "search" button is
 :Well here is what I did. 2 piece’s of angle aluminum each side, which are screwed in to the metal dash structure. Then the holes you can see in the rails, I bend tabs from the cradle into them, and it sits right back, with the cradle lip right on the edge. The rails are spaced apart the exact size of the cradle so that it has no movement in it at all  As for the gap in between the lower pocket and the stereo, some more aluminum comes in handy.   And just for your info, this setup was done/installed by me with no right angle drill involved Cheers

there is that whole thing about being too lazy to search :P
set up looks good. pretty darn inventive too. i wish i had mad skills with metal and wood and stuff lol i was going to screw into the dash structure ala ronwest, but the good old maxi bond has come through. its actually glued to the plastic fascia  : but i used just enough so if i ever want to remove it, no worries.
