I just had something similar fitted to the El Camino (six cylinder) The guys that did the conversion for me are Distributor Rebuild Center in Centurion. With the electronic coil it cost me R1600. The pickup they use is the same as the Uno Fire (looks the same is your pictures) and the electronic mod...

Remove all the gauges and switches, knobs and buttons. Take the dash (or car) down to your local Sign-A-Rama. Let them take a photo and have them digitise it for their laser cutter.

Give Allen Y Brink engineers in Pretoria a call.
