volvo dash kit
I have a question for anyone who has installed one of these. What is the easiest way to mount this? I was thinking of attaching the tabs from the kit to the factory tabs in the dash. Any other suggestions? Thanks

Why is it that the trucks are always the best running vehicles in the family?

Re: volvo dash kit
That's what I did, but be careful with the screws you use, as there is very little clearance between the stereo and the kit itself, so it will be a really snug fit.towtruckerfour wrote:I have a question for anyone who has installed one of these.

Re: volvo dash kit
Whatever you do, do NOT cut the factory mounting tabs out!
If you don't want to use them, just bend 'em back out of the way, so a future owner has the option of reinstalling a factory-style radio.

Re: volvo dash kit
I definitely won't cut the tabs out. I am trying to keep both trucks as original as possible but fixing them up.
