What car?

You can go to the junkyard and hope you find one (they're all probably picked clean by now), or you can get them new from Nissan ($15+shipping online, each side).

Or if you're good with your hands, you can probably make a bracket.

I don't know what car you have, but on S13s the brackets bolt onto the side of the radio, and then at the front they have tabs at 90* bends away from the radio. These tabs mount onto the mounting points on the dash.

shoot my bad, its a 95 s14. yea i thought about the junk yard but ive already been there and there isnt even one s14 in the whole yard lol. i think ill make brackets but i just want to try and find a picture to get an idea so i dont make it harder than i have to. at the same time, it will be holding a double din screen so i want it to be very secure. thanks for the help

You can probably make that with $5 of sheet metal from Home Depot.

Get on that ASAP before they discontinue carrying S14 parts altogether.

Usually 10 years after the model year Nissan discontinues some of the non-consumable parts on the car.
