Yes. The write up is available by clicking the picture in the reply above. I did all the variations on the stereo installs myself and the write-ups give way too much details. I've done several ground-up car restorations so this stuff is pretty easy by comparision. But when I first started working on cars I thought changing a light-bulb was a big deal. Over time you get more and more confident. With the factory manuals, the right tools, and practice it doesn't take long. Along the way you screw things up but eventually, you can do pretty much anything without too much fuss.

For that ****, it was three screw holes in the vertical surface facing the hand brake and one larger hole for the wire to fish through. I made sure that I put the holes in exactly the right spot before I drilled. There's no "guessing" - I used the plate for attaching the mounting pedestal as the guide for marking the holes and a center punch to make little indents for the drill to start in.
