Thanks for the info, went to Lexus dealer again and got access to '91 LS 400 that was written off. I pulled off the trunk panel covering the CD changer to reveal two small steel tabs welded onto the floor pan that extends into the free space under those "floating" bracket "feet." This provides a mounting point for the lower bracket. I while get these small parts cut off the original floorpan that was junked and repaint and reweld them back in. Small oversight on the bodyshop's part, but they said they will fix it. Thanks again for your time.

Hi again, I have posted some pictures in the gallery ( they are probably at the end). of the bracket in the trunk. Do you see how the lower end of the bracket has nowhere to mount? I think I am missing some part or something? Please let me know if you know anything about this part of the car.

Thanks for replying...the original CD changer is 86270-50010 or CDX-M9751ZT and manufactured December 1991. The front of it has a raised molded surround for the "OPEN" button which is recessed maybe a 1/16th of an inch inside of the surround. The "new" CD changer has the exact same numbers on it and was manufactured March 1992. It looks identical (size, shape, materials, style, numbers, everything except manufacturing date of course) to the original. I know about the CD changer mounting to the L bracket, but I don't exactly how the L bracket mounts to the car. There are 2 holes on the upper side of the bracket that correspond to two holes inside the quarter panel, however there are two holes on each of the "feet" on the bottom of the bracket that have no obvious corresponding holes on the car (lower trunk panel or floor pan). This is where I am lost...where to mount the bracket to the car securely. Once I figure out the bracket mounting, then I can bolt the CD changer to it and then clip on the carpeted trunk panel with the first aid kit on top. I have looked at the carstereohelp.com pictures, but the last one is not close enough. If it were only closer and pointing towards the bottom edge of the CD changer, then I could maybe see what's going on. Thanks again for the help.

I have a 92 LS400 that was nailed in right rear trunk area. Consequently, the CD changer and bracket were destroyed, among other parts. I have had all the body work repaired at an auto refinishing shop and have taken the CD changer situation into my own hands, however I can't figure out what I'm missing when I try to mount it. I have a brand new CD changer, aluminum "L"-shaped bracket, and mounting bolts. I can't figure out how the bracket mounts inside the quarter panel and to the trunk floor. I would really like to see some diagrams or pics, but can't seem to find any. Any help is greatly appreciated.
