Has anybody here fitted a mk3 escort dashboard into a mk4 using the s2 wiring loom? If so how much work is involved? I have a mk4 which is now a s1 replica with s2 engine and loom don't have any dash in at the mo (have a mk3 dash coming) so not 100% sure what's involved when it comes to the wiring and the plugs? Thanks for any help!

You would be better off putting the MK3 look in and adapt that personally.

All the stalks and lighting system are different for starters.

Hi Mate,

I have done this for my S1 replica cabby.
It is al lot (and I mean a LOT!) of work! I have made alle the switches and auxilary warning module into the S2 loom. Biggest problem is that Mk3 switches are "hardwired" and Mk4 switches use relays for switching things. Mk3 switches have a common +12v for switching, and the MK4 ones use common +12v and common ground, depending on relay state. This makes the internal wiring in a switch different, so extra relays are required. I had to place severel additional relays for it to work....
Unless you are very good with electrical work, I would advise against it.....
