Hi,

If the unit has a cassette player and you bump it out 3/4 of an inch,  you
may not be able to get cassettes in and out because of how close it is to
the shifter.

Just something to think about, I know on my stereo it is a really tight
squeeze getting them in and out as it is.

Hi Larry,

It is a pretty short depth.  I used to have a Sony in dash CD player in my
Sprite and it was a pretty tight fit.  It was a 6 1/4 inch depth unit.
Someone gave me a tip to try, although I haven't done it yet.  They said to
pull the trim piece from the bulkhead and trace it onto a 3/4 inch piece of
plywood.  Cut it out, cover it in the correct vinyl, and cut a hole for the
hood release, and you've bought yourself another 3/4 inch clearance. Hope
this info helps!

I got a gift certitficate for a Stereo for the Midget for Xmas. I wanna
go buy one but I need to know the max depth of the housing before I walk
into the store. I know it is rather short, like in the vicinity of 6",
and I remember that Damark or somebody recently had the dimensions in a
Catalog, I no longer have. (Now that sentence will make an English
Teacher cringe). I went to the Damark site (www1.damark.com) but could
not find a measurement chart.

Any suggestions or help, or am I gonna have to go pull the console and
measure the freaking thing. Not that hard - but not the easiest either.

Thanks

Larry
