An appliance mounting apparatus is provided for securing an appliance such as a radio to a vehicle instrument panel structure. A radio mount replacement bracket is secured to the inner wall of the vehicle instrument panel structure within the opening for receiving the appliance. The replacement bracket includes a first leg engaging the inner wall and a second leg extending from the first leg into the opening, with the second leg having tabs which replace the normally provided plastic mounting tabs of the structure. An upper reinforcement plate overlies the wall of the instrument structure opposite the first leg of the replacement bracket, for securing the plate, the wall and the first leg together with threaded fasteners. A brakcet is attached to the appliance radio having tabs which extend from the appliance and align with the tabs of the replacement bracket. The tabs of the appliance and the tabs of the replacement bracket are intersecured with rivets to support the appliance in place.
