you could fab your own bracket. that would be cool. yes only old vintage 
radios, or shaft style newer radios can fit in the stock braket with out 
modification. since you have two brackets, you could mod one and keep 
the other, but they are getting hard to find. if they are both in good 
shape, i would sell it or trade it for a modified one.

for modding it all you have to do is grind out a little off the top 
inneropening and bottom, then test fit it.
