Default Aftermarket stereo Loose and flopping around

I got an aftermarket stereo,

Premiere single Din receiver.
Zapco Single din EQ.

Now this gives me a half din slot on the bottom.

The aftermarket mounting bracket has only two holes so the top slides DOWN.

Looks half asses and eventuality the audio cables wiggled loose.

Aftermarket stereo Loose and flopping around.

A call to the stereo store said it only has two screws and have never known for the stereo bracket to be "Flopping" around.

Ideas?


You can see the bracket has no posts for top screws,
and the bottom has a "Foot" or metal thingy I thought about bending up to support it.

Or do I have the units high and they need to be on the bottom "foot" thingy?

I would be suspicious of the kit only having 2 screws, try and find a few more screws, possibly at a hardware store or a friend with an aftermarket radio, and also find a few spots to screw the radio in better, and the eq panel as well.
or put in a block of wood to hold up the radios

the mounting kit only has two screws. its supported by having the head unit on the bottom or a tray. I have an EQ thats smaller then 1 din making a gap.

Most mounting kits for two single dins have only two bottom screws and allow to be held in by friction, or yea a block of wood.

I wonder if any one knows what 4 screw radio kit with two dingle dins for sell on ebay?
