hi guys i have an au series 2 fairmont and i am wanting to put the dash out of a ba or bf falcon in my car.... was wondering if this is possible and what mods i would need to do to make it fit?
thanks

{DESCRIPTION}

it is very possible, it will quite easily sit in there but all except 2 of the mounting points are different (for the whole dash) and none of the console mounting points line up... i dont think its possible to get a BA dash (B.E.M, Cluster etc.) to talk to the AU ECU which leaves you with problems getting the cluster to work... but have a look at my attempt... i will be having another go at it when im financially better off...(still have all the gear) i have no idea if the BA heater box will sit against the AU firewall (i doubt it) but thats the path im now thinking...

Cheers Cam

I think there is an issue with the headlight switch -- AU is on the top right of the dash (like EL etc.), whereas the BA and BF headlight switch is on the end of the blinker stalk.

If you do it may as well go the whole hog and fit the motor and all the looms too. That would save a few headaches and the engine fits easy.

yeah but its pretty easy to wire up the au dash to the BA indicator headlight switch... see the last post in the link above...

my thoughts exatly... only issue is mounting the BA heaterbox to the AU firewall... (on the interior side of things)

Yeah that will cause issues too.

You would want to be pretty attached to your AU to try it out. A BA isnt a whole lot more expensive than an AU these days.

I want to mod the ute but I keep thinking why bother when a BA isnt that much more of an outlay.
