The CD player hole on the dash

Has anyone else had the problem with the hole for the CD player in the bus just not quite being big enough? Before I cut it to make it slightly bigger I just want to check that I not missing something here. Tried to put the CD player in through the front, then the back and the hole seems just a little bit too small.

 

yes do that, and shove an old motorola in the hole,

 

I really want it in the proper hole. That sounds rude. Got to be careful what you say on this site.

I want it to go in the hole it was intended for. Still rude.

I really want to fit it in the radio / CD player hole in the dash, not in some after-market cradle under the dash. Has anyone else had this problem and ended up cutting a slightly larger hole?

 

How very rude!!!

 

Get one of these babies

i had to cut the hole. if you take your time and use a decent saw it will be ok

 

Dont cut the hole, get an old vintage looking one and put your new one in the glove box

will get a photo of mine, when im home at the weekend.

 

I just used a big file

 

CD players hadn't been invented when these vans were designed .....enlarge it....carefully.

 

yea cut the hole to fit!! the previous owner did on mine (not a very good job but iv tidyed it up a little)
i dont understand having an old radio in there which is not used and a new one hidden somewhere else? yea it looks old and in keeping but to me its like keeping the old engine in and hiding the scooby in a box in the back! hahaha ;D

 

Yeah open it up, you can't tell mine has been done use a belt file or a large file, don't use a saw or you'll make a mess.
