head unit not fitting help

[phat_com]

hello people,
i am trying to fit my headunit into my vh and it sticks out about an inch
is there anyway around this or am i just buggered
it his a pillar of some sort in the middle of the stock radio spot
its about 5 cm wide is it holding anything up or would i be able to cut a section of it off so my headunit will fit in like a nice headunit should
plz help i have run out of my bottle of coke and m&ms so i have stopped trying to fit it lol

When fitting an aftermarket headunit to a VH you need to remove the Receiver support bracket, it is held inplace by 2 screws at the outside top of the bracket.
Once removed it should fit.

cheers

remove all of the original radio housing and get a new1 that fits it nice and snug and start from scratch.... just thought i'd reply because i saw u were from tuggers canberra, im also from tuggers, what colour is ur VH?

oh and it has had a headunit in it before i bought it so the stock radio has been removed

on the left near your heater controls there is a bit of plastic u will have to grind that back to make it fit i used a die grinder or dremal and it works a treat

hey man, go with the die grinder idea, many a times that has helped me... but the vh u speak of, is it two tone silver blue? with gts replica chromes?
