anyone know the part number

Thanks man, that at least answers that question.

Now, has anyone out there successfully used the new type box and if so, how did you modify the CD changer brackets?

[GoIsuzu]

There is a plastics molding company here in Omaha that I've been working with to have an aftermarket set of VX splash guards made from an original set of Japanese mudguards. If there was enough interest I'd consider having a batch of a hundred or so cubby inserts made as well. (After a lot of searching I found a set of splash guards and I do have one of the discontinued bins that I'm saving for my VX whenever I find one I really like enough to buy.)

Either way, the splash guards I imagine are definitely going to be over their original retail cost (I think, I have no clue on yen to USD conversions) and I'm guessing the bins would probably be twice as expensive as the original Isuzu bins as well.

If I can't get this one to work, I'll be interested.

Tone and others - I just added a few pics of the cubby and the fit of the CD changer brackets to my gallery.
I think I'm gonna just drill a few new holes in the bracket tonight to make it work.

I modified the CD changer brackets and it worked great. I just drilled two new holes in each bracket 3/8" in front of the other two holes (therefore moving the cubby box 3/8" forward). Measure the gap on yours as I'm not sure if they'll all be 3/8" off.

Anyway, all it took was drilling 4 new holes in the CD changer brackets and it installed pretty well.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Tone.

I kinda did this today... before I read this thread.. and it answered alot of questions I had.. Had a ell of a time finding it using the search .. but variations of cubby finally revealed it.. I used the one on the left also.. and used the center hole in the cubby instead of the nipples.. since I thought they were in the way.. anyways.. another successful (more or less) mod.. thanks to the forum..

Yeah, you really don't need an Isuzu stock cubby. I got mine from here:

For like $10.

EDIT: Here is a link to the DIN pocket I used, works well in place of the CD changer:

Yeah, it took me a few minutes to find it. Their search is pretty much useless.

Bart,

Does this fit right out of the box without needing any modifications?

IIRC, yes, it does. Don't kill me if it doesn't though, I did this like 2 years ago. The kit comes with some different size mounting brakets and face plates so it fits a variety of DINs. I am 99% sure it will work without modding anything.
