I know of a S5 with blown coolant seals and was wondering if The size of the S5 Dash is close to that of the FB(81-83 style)?Anyone know?

 

the fc dash has the door panels wrap around into it, other than that i think it might fit, its real close

The door panels go into the sides of the dash don't they?I think it might still work tho.It would make a wierd install thats for sure.Just pondering.I know I can sell the S5 exterior panels.I could sell enought off it to make my money back and still try it.

 

Are the screw locations similar mike?To mount it?

 

Anyone?I need to know how close the screws are to mount this to a FB body.

 

I have seen pics of it being done, lost the web page though. It fits, but it is ugly as all hell LOL, just an FYI

 

yeah it bolts in almost the same

I've seen the S5 instrument Cluster put in, but not the whole dash. It's way too big. Why are you even thinking this? The 84/85 Dash is one of the nicest ever made.

 

Wanna make my 83 DD a little more unique then just the wing.

 

i think the miata might fit, but its not a huge change
