Reinstalling standard HU

[samcorsa06]

Hi all,been browing this forum for a while now and im about to ask one of the most basic questions about probably. Time has come to put my standard unit back in and when taking it lets say i was pretty forcefull with it and bent the s*** out of it. IS this needed to install the standard headunit again or do i need to bend it back into shape for the HU to fit again?

Replys greatly appreciated :)

the 'cage' part? If so yes you do need it.

[samcorsa06]

Yeh the cage sorry, thought i had typed that. Whats the best way? just to bend it back into shape? or to buy a new one because i dont wanna do that as i have no money lol

[matt clarke]

If it's not actually broken, just bend it back best you can. Nobody will actually see it and it the HU doesn't move about, then all will be fine.

[samcorsa06]

No its not broken just bent the bottom 2 bits up that is all :)


Cheers for the reply mate :)

just force the hu in, it will have to be bent to get it in anyway

[samcorsa06]

Yeh but i dont want it sliding out when i accelerate lol, if the cage is needed to hold it in there securly then its going back in lol

[alastair]

the cage is bolted in at the bach and the HU clips onto it, it will be fine

[samcorsa06]

Sorry i misunderstood what you said i thought you were saying just shove it in without the cage, my bad :)

HU is a c*nt to get back in. Mine still doesn't sit flush with dash as I can't get the bugger back in! :roll:

[samcorsa06]
