I just got a cobra 29. The ash tray in my 91 must be alot smaller than your 94. There is no way this will fit there. It would be kinda nice though. How did you mount it? Just used the normal bracket?

REMOVE ASHTRAY,trim to fit then plumbers tape to hold it into place

i was thinking the same thing today, i took my 29 and sized it up against the ash tray with all the parts took out of it, and i dont see how it will fit at all

Should be the same size as the 94 dash. I just sold a guy a 94 dash and it fit perfectly in his 92.

I think the trimming may be the key. Plumbers tape is a great idea. I don't think of that. Hopefully tomorrow i will have time to give this a shot.
