Default Au XR S3 Tickford Cluster Plastic Cover...

Does anyone know if the standard Falcon/Fairmont Perspects instrument cover is the same as the Tickford plastic covers???

My cluster is fine, but all the plastic clips on the perspects are broken. Its cheap to buy a standard cluster and replace the plastic cover if they are interchangable?

Tony.

The perspex cover will fit in terms of fitting over the cluster itself.

The problem you run into will be the odometer reset button is positioned differently.
