Miles, I installed a 1942 radio in my 1947 S.C. and it mounted the same as my '47. I unfortunately don't have the car to take photos but it you look along the sides of the radio you should see brackets sticking out with a hole in it. Up under the dash you should find similar brackets with holes. The radio was held in place with rods about 8-10" long which have "j" hook on one end and a threaded end on the other to which were screwed wing nuts. The J hooks went through the holes on the underdash brackets and then through the radio bracket The radio is held in place with these two rods by the use of the wing nuts and the nuts and bezels which hold the faceplate to the dash panel. With some fabrication skills I suspect the rods would not be difficult to make with rei-rod etc. I sincerely hope this description will help.
