im wanting to know what i will need to put the wt dash into my narrow track do i need a new wiring harness for it aswel and if there are any other things i need thanks in advance

and i know i need the dash

[want33s]

You need a WT dash and you'll also need an NT car...........



All mounts, heater etc is same but you will need at least a WT under dash loom or preferably the entire WT loom... The under dash loom plugs into the rest of the wiring behind the glovebox.

Sounds pretty easy, I replaced a 1L dash with a NT. It
took a lil more than NT - WT.

i think you need the wiring harness to i think from the wt

[ninjadaniel]

i just did this in my car, the NT loom is nearly the same as the WT but the plugs are different, you can put the NT loom in behind the WT dash but you will need to remove the backing from the speedo cluster and place it on the back of the WT dash (a few little plastic knobs need to be cut off) then all your gauges will work!.

Alternatively if you are doing what i did and swapping an entire engine conversion, wiring & dash over... its a VERY simple job. You will also need the steel bar that sits behind the dash as it has different mounts, steering collumn is the same and should fit, you may need to remove steering wheel and drop the collumn down/out to make the job easier for you.

ABC auto gear currently have a WT soft top with dash & steer bar etc, they quoted me $50 including the wiring.

I can't add any tech to this thread (except that it's not that hard) but why on earth would anyone want to put the WT dash in a NT? The NT dash is miles more attractive (its less bulky and the three centre round vents are awesome for mounting gauges) and practical with the removable radio pod slung under it.

I could imagine wanting to go from WT to NT or from WT to coil, but I wouldn't put a WT dash in anything.

OH KAY THEN...
You never said that before... Steel dash is 1.0 litre and is a whole different story to 1.3 NT or WT.

[skitzlux]

my mistake well yeh i have a steel dash and want something newer to put in it is it a mission to do or should they bolt up

[want33s]

Steel dash, IE 1.0 litre, is welded in and is a big job to convert to 1.3 dash but not impossible if you have the skills.

Steel Dashes Rock!

Why would you bother? just throw in a Tacho on the top right hand side and you can mount as many gauges as you want right along the whole face of the rest of the dash all the way to the passenger side if you want?

[BlueSuzy]

Does a newer dash make a car new?

Tell her to get a tit job and a facelift. Then she will be newer..

[skitzlux]

shes bought me this seirra and the one before it and i want to make it a bit nicer for her cos shes bought me the locker and axels helped me with the rest of putting it all together shes done so much and its the one thing she wants changed

this is my missus i dont think shes needs a boob job or face lift

[foolsp33d]

I must not type explicit comments, I must not type explicit comments I must not type explicit comments I must type some explicit comments..

just like a zook im sure its even better with the top off

fwiw My missus has a steel dash in the HT to,im considering covering it with fun fur for her *flame suit is on and prepped*

**not to this extent thou!

[Gwagensteve]

Swapping out the steel dash will be an enormous PITA. The big problem is that everything behind the dash is different because the relationship between the steering column and pedals is different with the steel dash cars because they have unboosted brakes.

Also, the heater box won't swap because the tunnel is a different size.... it just goes on and on.
