Default stereo install Kit

Has anyone found an installation Kit for a head unit that has supports for the back? All the kits I find mount with 2 screws and the radio kind of sits at an angle.

They all do that bud, I was going to try to figure out how to make it sturdier than what it is now, as they age they move a lot more mine makes a rattling noise just driving down the road.... If i can figure something out I'll post on here.

The previous owner epoxied a piece of wood with foam on it and it seems to work well.

Head unit didn't come with a rear support, I'll just have to rig something up I guess.

Most head units have a spot on the back of them that allow a screw to be screwed into them. You can probably find something at the hardware store that you can scrwe into the back of the head unit to use as a rear support.

I don't have any support on the rear and mine sits nice and even.
