start cutting and labeling wires to extend the wire harness. I used about 4ft. MAKE SURE YOU LABEL THE WIRESCORRECTLY BEFORE YOU PULL;)

after that... I worked on the mounting bracket...

Severe "MACGUYVERING"was necessary to make all things fit just right. You will see what I mean when you try. Here are some of the things that I did. They worked for me. Feel free to make improvements as you see fit.

A little cardboard to fill the gap and add support since only one mounting bracket screw hole lined up right.

I used some styrofoam to make "pillars". This was cut from the styrofoam padding the new reciever in the box. I used two pieces on the left side to hold up the bracket and shelf where there was no screw to mount to... you'll see.;)
