how difficult is it to fit a facelift dash into a classic none top glove box and do i have to change clocks and heater controls

carl

 

depends on your knowledge, pretty much everything needs changing, nothing just plugs in it can be done though

 

Has anyone done this?

 

Hi Carl,

I am sure "Money" has done this conversion using a later dash etc. I remember seeing a picture of the later dash with the older speedo clocks fitted but that may have been a temporary thing.
Not sure if how good the older clocks would fit into newer dash but would be interesting to know?

You would also need the later front door cards, otherwise the dash gets squashed onto the older door cards. (doors closed)

The later speedo can be fitted but you would also need to change the speedo drive (mechanical thingy) from the gearbox to the later type (electrical)
Speedo clock wiring can be found on "scoobymods" forum
The other part which I am not sure of is that can you retain your current heater matrix unit etc & just re-wire the newer heaters controls to that. Or maybe you need the later heater matrix.

btw why do you want to change to the later dash?
The only reason I wanted to change my dash was to fit the defi gauges in the top centre pod. In the end I made my own centre pod to suit the 60mm defis.
