Hi
What year kit is your Jago?
The reason I ask this is that it will determine how you go about changing the dash.
What is it that bores you about the original dash?

Are you running a cross flow engine or OHC?

Either reply to me on this forum or via my direct e-mail on

OK the 1989 Geep/Sandero was designed to have the instruments in front of the steering wheel (before 1987 the instruments were in the middle lower part of the dash).
Jago Developments still list the correct dashboard for yours (this being the current type) at £59 plus post and packaging.
So that is one way of solving the dash board problem .
Regards fitting a stereo the easiest and most common way is to fit a floor mounted stereo console which is usually available from motor factors.
The later model windscreen/scuttle/dash do not usually lend themselves well to fitting a stereo into the dash itself as often the stereo is deeper than the available space.
