good question actualy i dont know ...must me lazy and was hoping that someone would know....i think the cars are about the same size ...ok the accord is longer.
I dident ask him to measure it to and im gone drive about 200km to his town on the 1. of july he has a lot of cheap parts ...and the dash was one of them and i just thought it would look good in my H/B


if it does not fit ill make it fit
was running low on things to do anyway

Soo ok the dash is in my car now but not finished.
If ur thinking of doing something like i did then ud better have lots of time on your hand caz you will have to make a lot of modifications to the dash(lots of cuting).....but its in and starting to look good

here are some pics .....all the gauges work .....only thing that does not work is the spido ....next week i will buy the speed sensor for my civic

it was like this in the morning:


after 3 hours of resolving the wires it works


here is a pic with the dash in

amm the heat works an ac is ok ....the funny thing was that thats the only thing that dident need to be modified.......maybe ugly for some but i like it and the red part i am painting black ....better then the last color ...brown and red

soo cluster work 100%now ......if anyone wants to swap the cluster then u need to get the cluster with the wire connector (the H/Bs are different) then u need a speed sensor i just got me a 94 H/B speed sensor and replaced the on that my 89 H/B had and it work. (ou and the speed sensors are the same the accord sensor gives out 1026 rpm @ 60mph and so does the civics sensor)

About the dash ..well its in but it needed a lot of modification. Just have to cover the sides and it done.
