    Default Any after marked radio bezel for Single DIN / 82 Capri

    So I have an 82 Capri, where the prior owner swapped in an aftermarket 'Single DIN' radio.

    From what I understand the 82's had the 'dual post' radios, where the opening in the dash
    does not accept the Single DIN unit without modification.

    Not the cleanest looking install, and I won't leave it this way.

    Was considering fabricating my own radio bezel, but was wondering
    what others have done or is there any aftermarket bezel that could be used.

    Here is a PIC of what mine looks like, and any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,

    I don't believe there is anything that is specific to the Mustang/Capri stereo opening, but I have used plates like these in the past. They are ABS plastic and with careful trimming, sanding, shaping they can be made to work very well.

    After figuring out the radio mounting support (block of wood and foam), used black foam board from the dollar store for the trim.
    Was meant to be temp until correct items were found but have left it as is.

    This one seems to have more material, might cover those two small upper holes better. Still need to trim and paint.

    I plan to use the repro blank off plate for the no radio option. Nothing else seems to fit the Ford opening.
