Graham, Is your car left or right hand drive. ? Regardless of that the center control radio box must be mounted on the left side of the dash/firewall. ie, passenger side on a right hand drive car or drivers side on a left hand drive car. Its the only place it can be fitted to enable the control head cables to reach the side of the radio box. There was a cardboard template for the holes position which came with the original instruction book. You can buy a reproduction copy of original instructions but I am not sure if it has the template in that book. My copy did not have it inside. Threë 7/16 holes are required to be drilled in the horizontal firewall panel at the provided dimples. Do you have a mounting kit which consists of three T head bolts, nuts and large flat washers ? If your car is RHD then the radio box should still fit under the glove box. Regards, Kevin.
