Where to buy factory H/U mounting brackets?
I am redoing the audio system in my 87 4x4. Out with the $100 JVC head unit and swap meet speakers.
In it's place. Pioneer DEH-P7900BT Head unit. XM tuner, Ipod interface, Alpine amp, JL 10 in sub and MBQuart seperates.
Got everything wired, amp and sub installed and all cabling pulled to DIN opening in dash.
I do not want to half ass the installation of the head unit by putting the sleeve in the dash and bending the tabs. I want to use the factory brackets and bolt the unit solidly to the dash structure so it is more theft resistant and not flopping and rattling around when I am off roading. Problem is, the mounting brackets are long gone. None of the toyota trucks I have owned (except for my Tacoma) have had them so I don't even know what they look like.
Where can I find a set of them? Anyone have extras lying around they want to part with? If they are a dealer item, anyone have a P/N for them?
Thanks.

ive had to get them from the dealership twice. i didnt go in with a P/N, just told them I need the left and right stereo mounting brackets and that was all the information I needed. I think they run an outrageous $15 each

Thanks.
$30 for the set is a bit steep for 2 bent sheetmetal parts but oh well. Will check with the dealer in the AM.
Junkyard would be a shot in the dark, the few toyotas that the local boneyards get are normally sans stereo when they show up. They look like they remove the stereo with a crowbar.

Mine is held in with a 90 degree angle, 6" piece of those drop ceiling pieces I had laying around. It is screwed right into the head unit casing and then intot he dash mounting tabs in front with flatheads, you couldnt remove it without a drill if you tried.
