I dash mounted a 980 in my double din Tacoma hole with a single din stereo. I had to trim just a little on the sides and bottom. It's a little longer even with a 90* connector.
I've got a PDF on a 'skeleton sleeve' home brew. I'll see I I can post it, but it's a square plate(1'x1', IIRC). There is a radial at each corner looking up and a center mounted antennae. The specs were for a different freq than 11m, but it seemed like a simple afternoon project. When I googled...

We'll take the computer duster at work, turn them upside down, and freeze someone's boot sole you don't like. Whack it on the deck and it'll crack open. Then you put it back on the rack and walk away.
