Radio delete cubby/pocket.

When I decided to remove the radio I found it impossible to find a replacement cubby which would fit perfectly maximizing the space but most importantly look as it was meant to be there. All aftermarket standard cubbies were either too thin, not fitting or impossible to mount, and none of them used a well finished surround trim.

My only option was to make one, and now I’m offering it to anyone who wish to utilize the space for more storage versus using available block off plates.

Pocket is made out of PA12 nylon, making it very durable, resistant to heat, chemicals and wear. Finish texture resembles typical car plastic part.

Inside dimensions of the pocket:

Width: 177mm / 6,95″

Height: 44mm / 1,73″

Depth: 102mm / 4″ (deep enough to hold phone, but not too deep to make it hard pull items out)

Installation requires to slide the pocket in the opening then slide 4 retaining blocks (3 bottom / 1 top) from the back of the pocket into the guides.

Role of the blocks is to securely attached the pocket against the metal dash. After those are in place use thin needle or nail to align the nuts inside the blocks with the holes in the pocket. Lastly fasten everything with 7 screws (this needs to be done inside of the pocket so best is to use philips head screwdriver attachment, finger tight should be enough, do not over tighten those.

Included:

– Pocket

– 4 mounting blocks

– 7x screws
