In case you've been wondering, this project is still ongoing. What is needed first is a credible radio blank-out plate in which to mount the little radio/MP3/BlueTooth module. So in image 1 below you can see I've made my first silicone mold of the original blank-out plate. It takes time for these to cure and set and like anything the first attempt may not necessarily be my favorite. Still, this one turned out pretty okay I think. I'm going to do it again and this time I'm going to experiment with using plain old silicone caulk rather than the 2 part mixable stuff. In the second and third images you can see I've made a plate (I used clear epoxy and fiberglass mat and you'll see there was a piece of sock material, rug fuzz or something in that fiberglass cloth along with some long hairs...from whom I could only guess. I didn't care about them, however. Once lightly sanded and painted, they'll not be seen. Anyhow it seems to fit ok, so now I just need to duplicate (or re-design) the two fastening nuts before proceeding.
