Havoc6538 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 My radio faceplate has arrived and I'm ready to start on the box for it. Obviously the height and the width are governed by the faceplate, but what would be an accurate depth (exterior measurement)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hey man...I usually do about 3" on the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smally Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Are these the ones? http://www.maplin.co.uk/mb-plastic-boxes-1676 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havoc6538 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 I'm going to stick to making my own box, although the metal ones do sound good Marcus. I've spent enough money on this lately, so need to reign it in where I can. So a 3" deep box it is. I also have some pleather to do an accurate surround. Watch this space...

Havoc6538 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 I've got the switches, thanks Marcus (they came with my vac-formed kit from Nathan (Boba). Although I won't be using any of his other radio parts, the switches are pretty accurate). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No dramas mate. I've found a metal tin that will work instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
