Hi pace what I did when I mounted a stereo in my tr3 was mount the stereo in the glove box and used the cardboard glove box to insulate the circuit. This way, I could leave the charging system positive (original) ground and provide some security for the stereo and CDs. In addition to putting the stereo in the glove box, I mounted the speakers under the dash, one under by the tach and the other behind the glove box under the dash using ½ angle aluminum brackets on both. I did not want some thief ripping apart the car for a 250.00 stereo. When someone looks at the vehicle, they cannot tell that I even have a stereo because I plugged the antenna up also. One problem I did run into was with the AM antenna because the AM antenna grounds to the body and radio. What I did was use a loop of insulated wire for the FM radio only and omitted the AM. However, that FM reception is not very good, but it works ok. If any members have a clever idea for a better FM antenna please let me know.
