    I would keep looking for a pair of stock brackets, they have a angled mounting tab and you would have a hard time replicating the bend so it mounts right. Try the wreckers, can be off any vn-vs

    Making your own brackets is a BITCH!!! they have to bent exactly, and you'll need to drill a hole each for them to mount, and in most cases you have to space out the right hand side. Best be is to just go to a wrecker, and buy the factory radio itself if you need to, and yeah grab the stock mounting brackets. With the original brackets you'll be done in no time..
