How does the tuner or right side of the radio physically mount to the dash or does it. The threaded part of the tuner sits behind the dash opening. Am I missing something? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 1,552 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 1,552 | The tuner & potentiometer should have two jamb nuts on them. Remove the first one and make sure the bottom one is tight against the casing. Insert the radio from the back of the dash, through the factory openings and put the jamb nuts back on. There is also a factory brace, that attaches to the back of the unit and attaches to the factory dash speaker assembly. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 36 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 36 | The threads on the tuner or right side of the radio aren't going through the hole in trhe dash. There is a semi-cirular piece in the casting that butts up against the back of the dash but the threads don't make it through. Unless I'm missing somthing there is nothing to screw the jam nut to. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 788 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 788 | are you sure that it is the right radio.any pictures of the radio or your problem
