Eomund Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 I finally got a replacement dash. So I actually have a spot for an OEM or OEM style radio. I'm not finding anything OEM for a 521. If possible I really wanna use the stock hole if I can. Are there any other cars that match up? And/or what have you all installed? 1 Quote Link to comment

thisismatt Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 A lot of aftermarket had adjustable shafts. Are you looking for something more retro-mod? 1 Quote Link to comment

Ya pretty much. I would like to use the stock hole if I can. Doesn't need to be original. 1 Quote Link to comment

EDM620 Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Are you looking to actually use a vintage radio for sound or just fill the hole? If you know any electronics techie types, I think it's possible to make the old radio function as the power & volume for a hidden aftermarket unit, stuffed into the glovebox, essentially just a remote switch. 1 Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Retrosound units fit the bill. Not cheap though. 2 Quote Link to comment

You should be able to find dimensions on their website, cuz you will have to do that footwork...........they probably don't even know what a Datsun is!! 😆 1 Quote Link to comment
