Not hard at all. You just move it towards the passenger side a little & remount. Don't move to far so that it interferes with clutch pedal.

So the assembly won't slide, I will need to re-drill new holes in the new mounting position?

When moving the e-brake for the cage you just drill a new hole in the bottom of the dash and flex it over a couple inches. Looking at the above pics I'm not sure if that will give enough clearance near the firewall side of the speaker.

What about for 6.5s?
Don't see any when I search their site

Correct. Just for simplicity and availability we're only carrying the smaller one.
I think we should just have simplified it by going with the larger one, and then maybe they would have been more available anyway!
Perhaps the smaller one is also easier to fit the Bronco anyway?
Not sure, and don't know anyone with the 6.5's to check out at the moment. Some members here have them though and maybe they'll pipe in with their experiences.

Hmm, I have not heard of anyone complaining about the parking brake interfering. Maybe I wasn't paying attention(?) but I don't remember any comments about that.

Pretty sure it was made to fit without too much drama. As long as you don't put a speaker with too thick of a cover on I suppose.

I could be interested depending on cost. Eventually swapping to lift off hinges so speakers gotta relocate.

I have the 6.5 with the this Polk speakers. I just forced the parking brake over a bit and used a bracket instead of drilling a new hole. Works good. BUT, hard to get to headlight dimmer switch.

Looking for kick panels for a 1971, wondering if these are still available. Thanks!

Send JGZ a pm and he will get back to you. That's how I ordered my set last spring.
