id say yes, the mounting points for everything should be the same.
but in saying that, you would probably have to transfer everything over to make it work
ie dash, center console, the center bit that goes over the trans tunnel, center storage compartment

Yup. I sent the bloke a message on Tuesday asking if he had a cash price thinking $150 for it would be reasonable but he didnt reply till I won it for $53. Than to top off my eBay day I bought a gt bonnet for my wife's liberty with all the trimmings for $300

Nice work, I was watching the cluster just out of curiosity. I guess his loss is your gain :)

Good work on the Bonnet too

casula wreckers are way over priced.
they quoted me an outback bonnet for $1200, SunSpares quoted me $500 and SSS Automotive quoted George (Lib 3.0l) $500

How do you go about gettin the cluster out in these bad boys? I assume a MY04 Fozzy would be similar to my dash/cluster? Do you need to take the whole woodgrain finish off that goes all the way down into the gear stick/boot, etc? Need to replace a blown globe :( Sighh.

The cluster has 3 screws holding it in. 1 in the center and the top an 2 underneath next to steering coloum covers. You have to remove the 2 lower panels to get to these though.

Fitted cluster for all of 5 minutes. It's not plug and play the immobilized is part of the cluster so I need to get it programmed to suit my key. My $50 for the cluster is looking more like $300 to get it to work.
