Hi, I have a plastic-dash Super (1303) that I would like to install a radio to, but I don't have the correct radio blanking plates to install a DIN radio..

Does anyone know of a supplier of pre-fab radio plates for plastic dash Supers? Any suggestions?

I bought this for my super. If you trim the interior tabs with a dremel my single din radio fit perfectly. The outside fits perfect in the dash.

Backwards - might be better if I tried upside down!

Who is 'they'? Can you point me in the right (left? lol) direction?
Yes I can make... but would prefer if I could find a ready-made/bespoke component

They don't fit properly upside down because the angle on the mounting tabs unfortunatly or I would have bought a stack of them
