Hi all,

Wondering if someone can tell me if the dash from a HK will fit over into my HG?
I really like the bigger HK style speedo etc & have one I can get for free so wanna change it over if I can.

I pulled a HG dash out of a HK and found a fair bit of steel had been removed to install it. I doubt it would be simple to go the other way.

Hmm that sounds like a bummer. To me the HK one looks longer but as the one I have lined up
is like 4 hours drive away I cant compare just now.
I thought the HG into HK would have been easier if anything so that doesn't sound great.

Still interested to hear any others who have experience with this if anyone has please.

To fit an HG to HK you need to remove metal as the HG is bigger, so the HK should be a straight slip in, small dash in big hole.

The HK dash will fit in but it has a different wiring loom set up to that of the HG the HK is a plug in type
