Later style dash
Discussion
I have done a search but cannot seem to find the answer im looking for so here goes....
In my 96 Chim I have fitted the 'older'style dash that came standard with the car. This is now cracked and bubbling in both the main and radio panels. I came by a very good condition Leven aluminium dash both main and radio panels with the warning lights connected and all connections ready to go on the rear of both panels. The questions is can I easily swap over the new style of dash and if so what would I need to do, wiring wise, for the conversion.

Unfortunately the gauges are different sizes (I got caught out with that one) and also all the later gauges have different connectors (just in case you could get it with the gauges and thought "I'll just swap them over too then") and I think even some of the senders are different too.
I had mine relaminated and just drove around with all the clocks rolling around in an empty dash for a week while it was done.
