94 radio bezel in an 02 dash?

[Booksix]

Ok, i didn't know where to put this. I found an 02 SN dash for my 88 thunderbird. 02 has the double din opening under the heat controls. I want to fit it with a 94 bezel that has 3 separate openings so I can relocate the a/c controls to the bottom and make the top two openings into one for a 7" touchscreen. Will the 94 radio bezel fit the 02 dash? thanks!

They're both the same size. But the '94-2000 bezel has an extra mounting point that uses a screw way inside the dash. Since you're doing this to a T-bird you might not need that part, or it might not fit. But you should be able to cut it off if you need to.

Thanks! but I'm a bit confused! A screw way inside? When I say the bezel, i'm just talking about the plastic trim that that finishes the dash off; surrounds the radio, HVAC, etc... As long as those trim pieces are interchangeable I'm ok...??

See the piece that goes straight back? It is visible in the opening for the radio. That's the piece that screws to the inside of the dash(see the hole on the left?). The '01-'04 bezel only has the 2 screws in the front; since it's a double din, there is no place for that tab so they deleted it. '94-'00 uses 3 screws; 2 in the front and the one in the back.

Trust me, I owned a '01 before my '95.

Thanks, now I get it...

So how about clusters? Are there differences between v6 and v8 clusters? Will the v6 tach work with my v8? Did they look any different? Any idea which years were vss based and not a cable speedo?

V6 and V8 clusters are different. I think V8 goes to 150mph, V6 goes to 120mph. No clue about the tach.

All SN Mustangs use VSS.
