2. Disassemble the cradle by placing it on a firm surface and applying pressure down on one
of the middle ribs of the plastic side moulding with a screwdriver. This will release the ribs
along this edge from the slots in the metal cover with which they mate. A similar approach
will release the other edge of the metal cover which can now be lifted clear (as shown
below).

Mounting
1 Hold the drilled half of the metal cradle cover in the position chosen for the radio and use
the four cradle cover mounting holes as a template to mark the locations for drilling.
Ensure that drilling at the selected points will not damage existing wiring.
2 Indent the drilling positions with a centre punch and drill 4mm holes for self-tapping
screws, or 6mm holes for nuts and bolts. Reduce the hole size if using self-tapping screws
in metal which is less than 1mm thick.
3 Drill any additional holes required for cables and fit them with suitable grommets or bush-
ings.
4 Secure the metal cradle cover to the mounting points with the M5 self-tapping screws
supplied, or with M5 nuts and bolts. Ensure that tightening the screws or bolts does not
distort the cradle.
To Reassemble the Cradle
1. Reassemble the cradle by clipping one plastic side moulding to each side of the mounted
metal cover (as shown in Figure 3). Take care to locate the ribs on the plastic part in the
slots on the shoulders of the metal cover. They will only fit one way round.
