I see others have installed double DIN stereo's but I don't see where anyone mentions the installation kit required. I bought a Clarion double DIN GPS for my 69 and it did not come with a way to mount it. I expected that it would have a sleeve like the single DIN stereo's have where you bend the tabs to secure it in the opening but it didn't.

I see where double DIN installation kits are available for newer cars/trucksin many places but nothing for older stuff. Have others done this that can shed some light on what I need to do? I'm about to paint my dash and before I do I want to fit the stereo in case I need to do any other cutting or welding.

Thanks,
Steve
