Default Rear unsupported??? Mounting a DIN radio in a Dodge RAM

I am going to mount a normal DIN radio in a 1999' Dodge RAM 1500. I
bought a Scosche installation kit from walmart. It appears that it has
a front mounting bracket, but absolutely nothing to support the
rear. Because the opening for the radio is larger than the radio, it
seems that the rear of the radio will be unsupported. Is that true,
and if so, how can I make the radio mounted in a more stable fashion.



I just bought a new Blaupunkt CD receiver for my '95 Ram 1500. I bought it
through Crutchfield, who supplies all the necessary stuff to make it fit,
including a factory-sized wire harness plugs. The receiver itself came with
a simple piece of metal strapping to support the rear (which the manual says
is important).

A simple metal strap attached from the back of your radio (it should have a
threaded hole in the back for attachment) to something solid in the dash
above should work fine....

Take it easy,
