Cruiser Head Fj60 Radio Bracket
Before installation
Thank you for your purchase! Before you install your radio bracket please note
that Dash removal Should not be necessary for installation although it makes
it much easier. This bracket uses the pre-existing hardware that your original
FJ60 radio used so no drilling or tapping is required. The reason this bracket
uses spacers to push the head unit forward is because the FJ60’s radio slot is
too narrow at the base of the radio hole for some radio face plates. Using
spacers allows the user to install their radio with its face plate giving the
radio a moreaesthetic appeal. The spacers may not be needed for every radio,
that is at the installer’s discretion. Please note that because of the use of
spacers, the radio DIN is only using its front side tabs to secure itself at
the front face. Due to this design choice a tight fit is required to ensure
the radio stays secure in place. It is highly recommended that you PRE-FIT the
radio DIN AND the Radio into the bracket BEFORE final installation is
performed. Some manipulation may be necessary to get radio to fit. If fitment
is too tight and the radio will not go in, then light sanding or cutting on
the inner faces of spacers or bracket may be required.
Installation
- a) If installing with the dash in place, then remove the spacers so they are not lost.
- b) Install the radio bracket using existing factory studs at the roof of the dash, ensure that the bracket is as far forward and centered as possible before tightening the nuts that came with your FJ60.
- c) Install spacers back into place. Spacers should snap into place. Gluing spacers is not necessary but can be done at installers discretion.
- d) Install DIN plate, then press out locking tabs on all 4 sides of DIN. This is what locks the DIN in place. Do not use punchout Tabs in front of the bracket. Only punchout tabs that press the DIN against the back of the bracket are necessary, all available tabs are pictured and pointed to with arrows.
- e) Insert Radio into DIN and follow radio manufacturer instructions for radio.
