Dash Pad Question

[mustangfanatic]

I have question on dash pad fitment for our cars. Will a dash pad from a Fairmont fit my '86 coupe? I'm thinking yes but I'd like to get some expert opinions. Thanks!!

[gregpro50]

yes it will

[fredzilla]

yeah it should fit but it doesn't have the "hump" in front.

Don't take my word as gospel, but I understand there are minor differences in some other Fox pads vs Stang pads, such as the driver side hump (for lack of a better word) that other pads don't have.

Plus, there are differences in years on Stang pads like screw hole locations, etc, from (again don't quote me) 79-82 vs 83-86 . Minor stuff that can be overcome from what I've read, but differences nonetheless.

Edit/Update: Or yeah, what the guys said below.

The center mount over the steering wheel may not line up.

And as was said, the missing hump over the gauge cluster is not correct.

I have a fairmont pad in mine. It was too nice to not use it I know it has no hump

I believe the '84 and up Mustangs have the relocated screw hole in the dash pad for the dash bezel. Kind of a bummer since I like the look of the Fairmont dash pad better and my '84's trashed.
