Question about RHD interior
 
Does the gauge cluster shroud, the plastic curved dash piece that breaks o so easily if removed wrong, on a RHD FD the same as on a LHD FD? Basically could I buy piece of a LHD and install it on a RHD?

I was told by a good source that they are not interchangeable between LHD and RHD, but have not tested it myself.

You want one, I got one. Actually, a whole JDM parts car. Let me know.:icon_tup:

I have the actual RHD Spirit R interior pieces. NONE OF THEM are transferable to LHD.

I've checked this before, part numbers are the same left to right....if you're talking the part with the 3 push-in spring clips attaching the binnacle to the dash.

Thinking of swapping over to RHD?

Naaaah. I bought a piece to paint and texture match and then out of nowhere, the rest of the set showed up for sale. I couldn't resist. The pieces now sit tucked away. Fullfilling their destinys as paper weights.

No they are definatly not interchangable. Find one from a Junk yard or EBAY they always have it there.
Camp foster junk yard to be exact!!
Miss that place 200 dollars for a engine :(

thats what i said!

billyboy 07-22-11 07:14 PM

Ah yeah, it was actually the vents that interchange - group buy on here 4 or 5 years back. I remember speaking to Mr Crowe about the binnacle at the time - wasn't cheap even over there, but cheaper than buying from Japan.

RH one in texture is F132-55-420B, got one second-hand from Yahoo before every man and his dog began bringing in half-cuts and pushed down prices. Might be prudent to stock up on trim, as that's usually the first thing to go NLA too.

Mine is broken to pieces and i managed to find all of the broken pieces and fiberglass under to keep them all in place. It looks pretty bad, but its better than having a hole there. Once of theses days I will pull it out and fiber glass over it to make it even, but it will then be smooth cause I can never get the original texture on any interior pieces.

purerx7 07-22-11 08:34 PM

They are NOT the same, the contour is completely different. I have tried using a rhd piece in my FD and it isn't even remotely close to fitting.
