Trent-KE30 Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 On a similar note, anyone know if the early KE55 instrument clusters and interchangable with later model KE55 clusters? ie, wiring all the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsdn Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 i think it will be a easy fit with some minor adjustment and mods.... Go on with mike!! and telll us the result.....:P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coln72 Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Don't think early and late KE30 dash pads can interchange. Looked at doing it once but there were too many differences eg. the shape of the dash pad where it lines up close to the windscreen. I think it would look dodgy. Wouldn't have a clue about KE55 dashes and whether the guages interchange :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiks666 Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 (edited) The whole dashes are interchangeable. I have done so in my Ke30 2 door, you need whole dash and a support that runs from one side to the other (with bends.) Not sure on wiring loom changes, but you should keep the same gauge cluster that you have. I changed my wiring but i changed the whole thing from front to back. I had problems with jap tank and aussie cluster, jap cluster and aussie temp sender (big pain in arse.) So my conclusion, keep same cluster, change dash (if you like,) but grab the whole thing including supports.

Guest Brad Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Sorry I have to agree with my brother on this one, I still stand by the fact that all 77+ and maybe 76 had a silver 55 dash, earlier ones had the black one with out the console around the gearbox.

Rolla__Boy Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Sorry I have to agree with my brother on this one, I still stand by the fact that all 77+ and maybe 76 had a silver 55 dash, earlier ones had the black one with out the console around the gearbox. Cheers :) My KE35 is a 1977 Model, March to be exact, and it has the late KE55 style dash in it, factory fitted. So, sorry, wrong again :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soyboy Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 hey fellas. this may be bleedingly obvious, but just wanted to check... are all ke3x series dash pads the same? I'd love to shove a ke35 dash pad i found in good nick into my ke30. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KE30_KE35_KE55 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) No they are different late ke30 dash crash pad is flatter on the front. Edited December 20, 2008 by KE30_KE35_KE55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiP Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 All KE3x's pre mid 1977 had the once piece dash, after mid 1977 they all had the two piece dash. So thats KE30, KE35 & KE36. They are interchangeable. So what does your car have?? I'd assume if they look the same, they are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
