Which double DIN insert with pocket?

I try to find a double DIN insert with a pocket underneath to mount a single DIN radio. There a tons of different models out there for specific cars, but I don't know which could fit. I guess I have to modify one, but was wondering if someone already found the right type for our Delicas.
Or is it maybe just a single DIN pocket and the radio is moved to the very top?

Not sure I know exactly what you are asking :) but if you are looking for a set up that looks like that pic, that's exactly what mine looks like. Stereo/CD on top, pocket on the bottom.
I got mine from Mardy, you may want to ask him.

The van has a double-DIN-sized hole in the dash, and considering most NAPOS have a single-DIN-sized hole (or the seemingly North American unique one-and-a-half-DIN, think Ford), your best bet is to buy a single-DIN stereo and a single-DIN insert. Any insert will do: I've got a Honda one in my ride.

Ok, I tried my third pocket (one from CT) today and it wouldn't fit either. Not even with trimming. The bracket holes are right (finally) but the faceplate is way too small.
Is there any magic to pick the right one of "any insert"?

Most audio shops will have plastic sheets on hand which can be custom-made to fit the opening. The bracket in behind is the important part (for the mounting holes), so if you found one which fits, I'd just get a hunk o' plastic and whittle away.
