Stereo bracket template

Has anyone made stock stereo bracket templates before? I feel if I tried making my own I would **** up the template and won't fit properly.

I want to find a template to make my own custom bracket out of it. I'm putting in a single DIN and also the ford Taurus cup/coin holder. I didn't want to modify or ruin my stock ones to make a template in the event I want to sell them with the car. I have a few ideas of going about this, but figure I'd ask if anyone's done it before already.

I need a template of the stock bracket so I can make my own out of a flat piece of metal and then form it myself. How hard is that to understand? What I explained in my second post should be enough for anyone to understand what I need it for. I'm not putting any gauges in it, just something in the outline of the stock stereo mounting brackets to custom fit what I plan on doing to it. Does that make any sense now?

well nice job being a jackass for someone trying to help.

After you numerously repeat yourself about a "bracket" your last post makes it sound like youre talking about the interior plastic "Trim"

I will be taking mine off this week and could have easily traced it for you
made a cad drawing of it
laser cut it for you so you would have a template to route out or trace
too bad youre a jackass to the only person trying to help in your thread

good day.

Haha ^ I agree. You want a single DIN in.....a car... FB, FC, FD?? just a flat piece of metal over the space you already had? You need details to get any help. I'm doing a single DIN Kenwood in my FB with 3 gauges underneath. Where the gauges are you could use a pocket, that was my other idea. You say you're doing a Ford Taurus coin/cup holder. Does that have a pop-out cup holder? Won't that get in the way of your shifter? Pictures would help. I'm willing to pitch in if I can. Just please don't degrade experienced members with implying that they cannot understand a shallow, unexplained proposal.

The stock metal brackets on a 90 fc convertible that screw to the side of the stock stereo to hold it in place. Wasn't trying to be a dick, just bad week at work, so sorry.
