After market stereo

womble · 11-09-2005, 03:55 PM

Hi, Just wondering what people have used to fill the hole when taking out the standard Mazda stereo and putting in an aftermarket one. I have a '90 Astina, I bought a pocket from a car audio mob that apparently would fit but there is still a gap. Mazda showed me the same kind of thing. Any help or pictures would be of great help.

Go to a car yard, get any spacer you can find, and make it fit...easy job!
