mercury capri instrument cluster in a BF dash?

[fastivab6tg25mr]

im looking for cluster options. has anyone used a capri XR2 cluster in their stock BF dash?

the capri cluster isnt even close to fitting

The wiring is much different. I think you would have to rewire all the connectors for this to work.

[fastivab6tg25mr]

I'm planning on wiring it. Will.it physically fit?

[azgtx]

I think it is smaller that the Mazda unit so yes it should fit in the hole from what i can remember

Just curious but why you thinking to do a cluster swap? BF's did have tach clusters available if that's why

[fastivab6tg25mr]

the stock tach clusters dont work with my megasquirt coil on plug ignition. im going to be installing a protege speedo, a miata tach, and im also going to be installing my AFR and my boost gauge hidden inside the cluster and dont want to cut up my stock cluster and i cant find any BFs locally to source a cluster.

[Damkid]

Fair enough.... I have a dead BF tach cluster... Well the tach and circuit board is still good but the other 3 gauges are ****ed.... If it interests you, you can have it for shipping costs

[fastivab6tg25mr]

thanks. im making a road trip to another pick n pull tomorrow that says they have BFs. if they dont have one ill take you up on it. will it fit in a large flat rate box?

[Damkid]

We don't have flat rate boxes up here in canada, but it shouldn't cost much to ship

[fastivab6tg25mr]

I ended up getting a non tach cluster. I'm going to give it a go before i commit to buying another.

[Damkid]

No prob buddy, it's not going anywhere in case you end up wanting it.... Good luck

[fastivab6tg25mr]

Thanks. Ill post pics of the cluster build in my super secret race car build thread.


I found an 86 323 with a tach cluster but it wasn't a BF. Thought all 86s wetter bf chassis?

[Crazypunkerguy]

Was the 86 323 a wagon? They still made the 86 RWD GLC wagon (could be called the 323 in 86 IDK) and released the BF variant wagon in 87. I have a GLC and an 87 323 wagon, wish my glc was a wagon though, it's an 85 sedan.

it was a sedan
