Hi

I have a radio ready to fit into bluey

I have thought about putting it just under the passenger side glove box.

What can it be held in and how would it attach

Mine is fitted to the drivers side under the dash and I think it's just held in with a couple of angle brackets and a bit of that Meccano they supply for radio fixing.
Make it easy to turn on and off and hides it quite well from prying eyes.

Hi,

Mine's under the passenger side glove box mounted using the brackets that came with the radio. The Amplifier box is right behind it but I’m thinking of moving it to under the bonnet as it gets a bit toasty there. The speaker is under the drivers glove box and I can hear it at any speed.

You can buy something like this from Halfords and other motor spares shops:

I didn’t want to fit a radio but did want tunes in the Morris.

I bought a Kemo 40w amp from Maplin £15, it’s only mono but I thought that was in keeping with the car. It does need a heatsink attached to it, mine came froma dead PC at work.

The amp is stowed out of sight in the glove box. A previous owner had fitted a heated rear window which is now long gone but the switch and warning light on the fascia next to the speedo aren’t. I decided to repurpose these holes one is now a switched 10k log potentiometer, this turns the amp on and off and is a volume switch. The other has a flush mounted mini-jack socket into which I plug my ipod.

It’s not hi fi nor will I wake the neighbours but it’s plenty loud enough for music on the move.
