I am trying to fit a 1 DIN size standard Kenwood tape deck in my 72 bus, but it doesnt fit. Its an older pullout style, but I believe its 1 DIN standard. It fits in the cavity, (indented part in dash), but there is a lip that the radio sits on that makes the hole too small. Do I have to cut/trim out the metal lip to make a 1 DIN size radio(tape or cd) fit ? My friend has a 69 bus and said he had a Kenwood cd player in his that he took out and was sure that the dash was not cut. Anyone else put in a newer style 1 DIN cd or tape deck in their bus? Did you have to modify the opening to make it fit? Thanks for the help

| 67 and newer type 2's will need the opening trimmed to fit a modern DIN radio. Becker and Blaupunkt made DIN radios that fit the hole correctly. The Becker that fits is a Europa II TR, not that this helps but just as a useless bit of trivia. |
