Hey, hopefully I am posting this to the right section and if not, mods please help me out.

Anyway, I have a 1990 SR5 4Runner that I am trying to install an aftermarket head unit into and unfortunately, the last person that had the truck removed the radio and took the radio mounting brackets and associated hardware, out with it. I was wondering if anyone could give me the specs on what the brackets are (height, length, width and, gauge if possible) so I can fab up a set for myself. Through Toyota the parts are $10.95 per bracket + mounting screws + tax so I'm hoping for something a bit cheaper, and since I am an aircraft mechanic, I do have access to some aluminum and metal working tools. Unless of course, someone will send me a set for free... but I doubt that, lol.

Thanks everyone!

Its easier to just pay the ten dollars,

I dont have the time right now to pull mine apart, however, if i do i will let you know and send pictures for you.

Well, it would actually be $20 since it's one for each side... plus another $5-$10 for the hardware... and I just really have an issue with paying $25-$30 for about $2.50 worth of stuff... but pictures would be awesome if you do pull yours out!

Just buy them or see if you can get them from a junkyard (super hard to find). It's hard to justify spending so much for so little, but they would be a PAIN to make and probably wouldnt look right.

oh yeah i remember having to buy both sides lol, i was cussing that i HAD to have those 2 little plates but they cost so much for basically nothing. They were super easier to install and i was glad i just paid it up.

I have a new cd player to install sometime this week so i will try to get the pictures for you here shortly if i can.

Awesome, I'm still probably gonna try to just make them myself, and if a few attempts dont yield success then I will probably give in and buy them.
