Default RADIO DIN SIZE Q's - 1986 244 DL

Hey all...my cd player from abouyt 5-6 years is going out and I'm looking to replace it with a radio that looks more out of the 80s.
Photo of current dash: https://i.imgur.com/a9hphvd.jpg

I've been chatting with the guys at Retro manufacturing and we've decided on this model

1986 244 DL Radio slot (single din) measuring 7 3/8 in x 2 3/8 in ??
https://www.retromanufacturing.com/c...ant=9366872963

They said the din slot should be 7 in x 2 in but on my meansurements the din slot is about 7 3/8 x 2 3/8....so just a bit bigger than what they are saying. Anyone have more info or experience with the radios on 240 Volvos? Am I measuring the wrong part? Should i be measuring the slot the radio goes in itself and not the third party mount made to house it?

any help/suggestions are appreciated!

The hole in the dash is not DIN sized, it is larger. Your photo shows a tuner installed in a DIN adapter.
