Member 1,452 Member For: 20y 9m 13d Gender: Male Location: Canberra Posted 20/10/06 01:37 AM Share Posted 20/10/06 01:37 AM (edited) I really like the look of what appears to be a white or silver (can someone clarify which?) instrument cluster inthe Territory these days.Would it be feasible to put that in a Falcon? Can it be done without resetting all the counters?I think white guages in a black dash look so much better.

Therefore only suitable for use in an XR with climate control. The stock territory has a standard black facia type cluster.I'm not sure if the territory type cluster will go straight in a BA, but should be OK in a BF. I think there is a difference between BA and BF ??? Maybe someone can clarify. Also you can't reset the the odometer beyond 100km travelled. Same for any cluster.Robin.

They might be able to answer/help with regards to the facia Edited 20/10/06 05:56 AM by tab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it have to be fitted with a WDS handy in any case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
