    here's a regular mount without the additional brick out front.



    bad photo.. didn't spend a dime on the mount. took ten minutes and it's flush.

    97 GT - slow, rusty
    93 CTD - more slow, less rust

    That looks really good. So you just used the dremel to carve out the bracket in the dash to let it sit farther back? Do the bezel mounting tabs adjust front to back to allow you to set the depth, or did you just have to carve out the dash to let it slide back farther?

    essentially what you are doing is moving the receiver back an inch/inch and a quarter. by removing the front brick, you are allowing the receiver to sit flush. yet due to stock dimensions, you are running into the little dash piece that needs cut in order to allow the receiver to move back that extra inch.

    Very helpful. I have not picked up the kit/bezel piece yet, but my only question now is about piece 1 and 2 you referenced. These look like they are one piece. Do they actually come apart? I can see how the bulge would push the stereo forward an inch or two just by not letting it sit flush with the bracket, but I did not realize you could remove that piece.
