Hey yal
I'm looking to fit a sj80dash innmy turd (mg410)
Can anyone tell me if I need to fit the sj80 loom? Or will it all plug up?
Tin top coily to soft top mg410 if that makes any difference!

Read somewhere where you need the wiring loom

You will need the coily loom or at least the incab section.
Or chop yours up and change all the plugs.
Coily dash won't fit properly though.

IMHO it is too much work to get right.

That's no real issue, why wont it fit properly? I was under the impression that I you swapped the crash bars and it worked?

The dash will fit but it won't line up with the bottom of the windscreen properly. Gaps etc.
To the casual observer it'll look OK but anyone who looks closely will see only dodge.

Ah ok.. I'm not massively fussed with bits like that

Do u use the sj80 heater box? Or can the mg410 work?
Swapping looms is a better option as I'm considering going to the g13a and 5 speed as well

Firewall is different in coily so I'd be gathering all the bits together and then seeing what works.

This conversion is going to bring the suck.

EVERYTHING is different. I've been in a WT LWB that had a coiler dash swapped in, and it was all sorts of a floppy loose mess.

Not worth it IMHO

Steve.
