John,

I used the Kenwwod KRC-2007 from Crutchfields on my TR4.  The TR4
radio mount plate took a lot of cutting but I have and extra
plate if I ever get worried about the originality.

The installation looks great.  It has a 70s look.  Check it out
on their website:

I am still looking for a decent set of speakers and an enclosure
for under the dash.  I am using a real cheesy set of Radio Shack
3" bracket mount speakers.  Terrible sound quality but on cost
$19.

Any one got a better solution for a TR4?

John:
If you are willing to do a "slight" modification to center
console, the
Kenwood KRC-2007 radio will fit.  I just put that one in, and
could not find
any other still made that would fit "exactly".  It requires
filing the two
holes for the knob controls just a bit wider, as well as the
center nose hole
about an 1/8" higher and wider on all sides.  The radio is still
available
from Crutchfield for $100.  The cover plate finishes the
installation off and
looks like it was always there.  E - mail if I can answer
anything more about
it.
