I have an aftermarket stereo and wanted to know if anyone here knows of a kit that can let the unit mount where it angles up. I;m not using the stock bezel.
Thanks

re: stereo--aftermarket
Are you using a shaft-type stereo or DIN? Is your stereo pointing straight out and you want it angled up, or is it pointing down and you want it pointing straight out?
If you want it to come straight out, just use the factory bezel. If you're using a DIN-style stereo, use the DIN radio Metra installation kit #99-9222 for a '75-'93 Volvo. Flip the mounting piece upside down and attach it to the bent-back ears in your dash, which will allow the stereo to sit perfectly horizontal in the dash opening.

Re: stereo--aftermarket
Any one have a picture of how the radio looks installed with the Metra installation kit #99-9222 for a '75-'93 Volvo?
Thanks
