Well, I forgot to take pictures during the process, but I installed the Ham radio today. No holes inside, all factory look. Thank goodness for Industrial Strength Velcro!
Here is the control head
The axillary switches you see are hooked up. AUX 1 Powers the radio. This is a factory, switched, 15A circuit, perfect.
The microphone (on the bottom of the photo) comes out under the dash. The large blank are on the plastic is where the radio is. 2 strips of industrial Velcro are holding it in place. No rattles, no wiggle, and no sight of the radio itself. Speaker is plenty loud to hear through the plastic.
Antenna will be mounted through this 1" hole (below the screw hole). This is the only drilling I had to do. I realized my previous antenna was broken, so I am at a stand still until I get a new one.
There is a small tab of metal below the hole, so I figure I will drill through that also for the antenna when I get one. Any suggestion son what to get?
