Radio Cage installation - Any help?
« on: 08 July 2009, 18:19 »
evening all,

I need to get rid of my standard radio cage with black plastic side trim for a one that can take the removable R32 trim. Is there anyone here who's done this before and can offer a hand? Preferably in London or within the M25.

On offer is plenty of beer tokens and entertainment, plus my old cage if you need it. (I'm sure I've got plenty more bits available too if you let me know what you're after!)

cheers! :wink:

Its very simple to do! Start at the drivers side where the door closes by the fuse box and go from there unscrewing....1 piece follows the next...you'll b surprised how easy it is...will find a link for you
If you cant find it......Grind it

I'm on the other side (Harrow). But Colchester doesn't sound toooo bad :)

thanks for the guide mate. i have to say, that does look a bit mental though! depends on how patient you're feeling I guess.
