Hey guys,
I went and pulled my deck from the Stang today to see what ideas might work for mounting the new deck. Inside the opening there is NOTHING to mount to except the bottom mounting point where the factory deck attaches. Here's a picture of the factory deck:
So it looks like it would be a matter of moving the existing hardware over to the new deck:
and
In terms of the front bracket it looks like I would really only need to drill out the existing holes to make them line up exactly with the mounting holes on the new deck.
As far as the rear bracket thing, it looks like it would need to cut and then some how attached to the unit. There are two screws (as you can see in the picture) those screws are both about 3 inches in on each side so if the rear bracket was cut so that it didn't interfere with the wiring spots and then some how added something to the bracket to make it reach to the two screws...
What do you guys think?!?
EDIT: I kind of mocked it up using tape to hold on the brackets and I'm going to get do a little test fit later tonight, I'll let you know how that goes.
