Here is one way to get tunes in your ride. Use a 12 volt cassette radio with the a pot on each side. Remove the cover, unscrew the pots and pull the wires or ribbon cables outward. Cut holes in the cover to accommodate the wires. A radio with a U shaped cover is easier to modify. A radio with a flat cover may need to be completely dismantled to get the sides off. Use a radio hole plug for the mounting bracket. Cut a hole in it for the radio front. Screw the bracket to the radio chassis, these screws will be behind the dash. The pot shafts will secure this assembly to the dash. Add spacers between the bracket and the radio to set the radio back, so the knobs are close to the dash.
