Exclamation Confused...Double Din Install...

I bought the following bracket:

Amazon.com: Metra 99-7402 Single DIN or Double DIN Installation Kit for 2003-2005 Nissan 350Z -Black: Car Electronics Amazon.com: Metra 99-7402 Single DIN or Double DIN Installation Kit for 2003-2005 Nissan 350Z -Black: Car Electronics

Just realized however that I don't have the original bracket from the original radio. How am I supposed to install the double din radio with just the above kit?!

(I previously had a single din radio installed with the same above kit). Difference here is that before the front facing brackets screwed into the car's center console. Now the only pieces I can use are the side brackets and the double din frame, right?

Thanks!

Thats a pretty good deal.


Id get the OEM metal bracket if it were up to me. A lot harder for a thief to nab your radio.
