===Support the Radio===
[[File:DSC00751.JPG|thumb|left|Sleeved bolt (yellow) supports rear of head unit.]]
Most online elise radio installation guides suggest that the alloy sleeve is sufficient to hold the radio in place, head unit instructions tend to disagree and suggest a rear support. 

It's true that it will work without in so far that it stays in place but it puts a lot of strain on the thin aluminium dash panel and the radio will almost certainly rattle.If it's a high quality head unit then it may have some weight  and will probably damage something eventually. Be creative, I used a two inch bolt through one of the holes in the bulkhead threaded to stand at the correct height to support the back of the radio.

Plastic sleeve over the threads so it looks nice and less abrasive on wiring, small circle of sound deadening on the head of the bottle so it doesn't rattle, spring washer and lock-tite so it's not going to come loose.
