Yes, done it before . But why would you? BA wheel is far superior and I would be going the other way.

Can be done but is FAR from being a bolt-on job.
If you really want to know what involved read this thread from around post #4710; https://fordforums.com.au/showthread...el#post5601215 Pics & thread with thanks to Gothefalcon ;)

You need an F-Series wheel and clock-spring... and you need to make a jump loom between the F-Series clock-spring & B-Series column-dash loom plugs. You also need to modify the F-Series audio circuit board (in the audio switch pod) so the F-Series audio controls talk to the B-Series stereo. Other than that... the F-Series airbag has the same resistance as the B-Series airbag... the F-Series cruise control switch pod operates the B-Series cruise control... the horn works too... and the F-Series phone switch will operate the B-Series Bluetooth unit too (as long as you have made the jump loom mentioned earlier). However.. having successfully completed an F-Series wheel conversion into a B-Series... it then allowed me to work on upgrading the F-Series wheel to accept Paddle-Shift paddles... IMG_0638 by Gothe Falcon, on Flickr IMG_0639 by Gothe Falcon, on Flickr ...which I've taken from a 2010-2012 Ford Taurus wheel ! At this point in time... I haven't found anything suitable to fit to a B-Series wheel (probably is something suitable out there... I just haven't found it... yet). The Paddle-Shift upgrade is a whole other story... but we have worked out how to interface with the ZF6spd (B & F-Series) at this stage.... and it works really well ! The wheel side of things is sorted... but we're still working our way from "prototype stage" to "finished product" stage with the trans interface ! D
