LoL there is a metal bracket just above your heater controls and below your radio which holds the bit you are making wit two screws under the radio that is fitted to body under the dash.

Mine is Facelift, so not sure if they all have them, but I think they do.


It looks brilliant though. I am tempted myself now!

I was thinking the same.
@RyanDay1 So far all the good work you've done is on a replacement facia. What are you going to do with all the metalwork behind the facia holding the dashboard together?

LOL. I had to cut a bit from it to fit my single din flippy out one as it was longer than the orginal.

I am going to have a google to see what others did, I remember seeing one done but can't remember what they did with it.

found it, not as hard as I thought:

"the bracket that used to hold the factory single din only has 3 rivots holding it on on the back, so I just drilled those out."

This is from a 2000 Disco so I am not sure if it is the same, i wish I looked better when I put the saw into it.

Anyway I got that info out of this link:

It does take some hours, more than any repair would take, but its really addictive and enjoyable and satisfying that you do it yourself so well worth it in the end, hope it does inspire some, if i can manage it im sure anyone with a few brain cells can ;) just takes patience and the guts to start! Im not even done yet might be crap! :D
 
I think it looks really good.
My problem is I like things to be as original as possible, hence I still had the original head unit in my TD5.
Must admit though it was getting harder and harder to find cassettes!!
