Just because I had it as an extra, I put the radio/tape from my Mitsubishi in
my '77 Midget. It fits in the standard opening fine, but it is a bit too
deep. When I shift into 1st or 3rd, it changes radio stations to the #1 or
#2 buttons. I just set both of those buttons to the station I want to hear.
Maybe you won't be so easy going with your radio.
Since you are creating a custom console, you might try installing the radio
with the front toward the top (near the dash) and sloping your rear downwards
(excuse me!) so it fits a bit on a diagonal. A longer radio will probably
fit that way, and access to the front controls and insertion slot (excuse me
again!) will be enhanced.
Just a thought.
