Difft Cubby sizes

Postby bruce » Sun Aug 24, 2014 9:40 pm

Hi,
I've got an NA8. The tombstone hole seems to be 2 DIN.
I've got a cubby but it is a fraction too wide to fit properly.
Are there difft width cubbys?

Yup early na8 and na6 ran Mazda or iso(??) sized radio cut outs. Late na8 changed over to din sizing.

Many early cars have been retrofitted with DIN sized tombstones to fit other radios.

Explains why my gauge holder is too narrow!
Who has a cheap narrow cubby for sale? I'm going to modify it, so it can be a bit ropey.

If you've got the cubby and the gauge holder Maybe your better getting a new tombstone ?

Modified the gauge holder already, so may as well stick with my tombstone.
