Default Know where I can get new Plates for Radio

I have a 97 4100 SCR and recently updated the stereo. This has caused the existing plates to not be off sized and I need to replace them/cut new holes in them. Does anyone know where I can get replacements or do I have to fabricate them? These are located on the lower left side of the helm. There is a water tank level indicator there from Maxum.

Its the covers that you mount things to. I don't have a pic or I would send one. They are a sheet metal covers. Its in two pieces. top contains the water level indicator gauge and switch, the bottom is blank. I wont be able to get a pic for some time.

As I am not familiar with the 4100 I probably won't be much help.

So you installed the radio in or near these plates?

I doubt you will find any old stock and will have to make what you are looking to do.

If these are similar to where my vhf and radar are installed in my 3000, I think you're going to have to make one from scratch. They are just painted sheets of aluminum. You might need to find someone with some metal skills, or take the old one, plus the radios to a metal fab shop.



When i installed a new VHF, I had to carefully use a grinder to enlarge the hole.
