I'm installing a used Blaupunkt Aspen hu into a '90 Vanagon but it seems a
bit small for the opening. Is there some type of spacer I'm supposed to
use?

Gracias,

Juanito

If that's the older model Aspen that has control shafts/knobs on either
side of the nosepiece, you need a universal shaft-to-DIN adapter kit to
mount it properly. The kit fits the DIN-standard Vanagon radio opening,
and gives you a place to anchor the radio control shafts using the
nuts/washers it comes with.

No, it's the newer CM147 unit w/push button controls.

If it's a std. DIN radio (roughly 2" x 7") and seems too small, only
thing I can think is that you're missing the installation sleeve for the
radio.

Right you are! I finally figured that out and ordered it from the parts dept.

Thanks,
