I decided it wasn't enought to just swap the BB6 Cluster into my CB7 Coupe. So, I am going to swap in the entire dash along with it! I got a pretty good start on it today. To do this, I cut out the outer perimeter of my CB7 dash, which will be mated to the inner portion of the BB6 Dash. The reason I'm doing this is to keep the four factory mounting points on the sides, and retain use of my defroster vents. I'm not running A/C anymore and I don't drive the car in the winter, so I don't really need to make the rest of the BB6 dash vents operable, but I might. We'll see how it plays out. Anyway, here's where I'm at so far, fitment is pretty close, just need to mold the two pieces together.
I have a BB6 prelude that I'm using all the parts from so it makes it a little easier to do this. I am also going to try to integrate the center console into the design. To do this I'll have to use the BB6 E-brake assembly. Shouldn't be too bad since the metal part that holds the ebrake lever and shifter assembly above the exhaust tunnel is just spot welded on. I'll probably drill out those spot welds, drill out the welds on my mounting plate, and weld the BB6 part in place. I'm also hoping that it will raise my shifter a little for autocross purposes.
I'll take pics whenever I get the chance and keep you updated!
