I have recently designed and built my own speaker/subwoofer box to fit behind the passenger seat in my LHD '86 MR2. My amps are in the mail and my new Kenwood radio just came in this morning. However, when I went to dry fit it, I realized that I have no way to actually mount the radio in the dash. I believe that there are supposed to be some metal mounting brackets in there, but mine does not have them. All I have are the stock screw holes for the original radio (which I do not have). I have found these mounting brackets on ebay and a single din pocket on Prime MR2. Is that all I will need to install my new radio? Any advice will be helpful as I know very little about the stereo for this car. When I bought it, the radio had already been ripped out, so I was not able to learn anything on the disassembly.

Thanks so much.
