Subject:Re: Radio/CD Player Installation 86 GL

The only "Cutting" I can imagine that might be necessary for a modern
radio/CD player is squaring up the corners where the radio goes into the
dash.  Many more models will actually fit in a Vanagon than the
compatibility charts typically show.  With some, the metal retainer that
a rubber stop on the rear of a stock radio fits into, might have to be
bent back a bit.
