Checked all the threads here n not 1 on this conversion??(Im surprised!)
Has any1 done this? I have been given a VK (not calais) interior and just wonder how much would be involved b4 I decide 2 make a start?.
Also, has any1 got good detailed pics of their VK dash with air cond that shows placement of evrything?..

Well the VK dash is the worst out there, perhaps thats why know ones done it?.
Personally i rather stick to a VB-VH Type dash, easy to read.

i love the VK dash, IMO it looks much better than VB-VH and VL ones. The square guages are different, i like themOriginally Posted by SL/ENUT

they're better than vl's my opinion anyway but i'd it's a simple swap except for where the rear demister is on vb-vh i'd say you'll need to swap the whole big section from a vk.
if its anything like the VC interior (which im presuming it is) then it will be an easy swap.. may require to alter your wiring for the rear demister though as its setup completly different in the VK

lol a vk dash doesn't look too bad if you paint it another colour than the original baby shite brown or hippy trippy blue.
If your VK is EFI, its not an easy task. I have been investigating the posibility of converting my VK EFI to a VL Calais instrument cluster and have discovered that its very hard when computers are invovlved. The tachos run different timed pulses and the EFI VK speedo has a sensor in it for the EMS computer. A Pre VH instument display wont work nor will the VL items. If your VK is a carby then you shouldn't have too many problems.

nothing wrong with vk interior..
if my interior was shot, i'd chuck a vk berlina interior in.. i like em..

The Vk dash and interior is one of my favourites but IMHO the square gauges are ugly. A nice back lit round instrument cluster would look awesom in the VK dash and interior. Each to their own I guess.

Any1 got a wiring diag. of the VK cluster at all? My VB 1's hammered....
