I have recently imported 2 2010 Mustang convertables to Australia to convert to Right Hand Drive. Australia is Metric and in order to get the cars complied they require the speedo to be in Metric and not Imperial ( MPH)

On my 2008 Mustang I could buy the gauge template from Simco in the USA as they were the suppliers at the time.
They do not have 2010 model guage templates.

The USA car dealer told me he cannot get the metric ones.

I need 2. One for a V6 and a V8 dirrefernce being V6 goes to 120MPH & V8 140 MBH and the rev counter is dirrefent. ie 7,000rpm for V6 8,000rpm for V8.

Does anyone know where I can buy them? I assume there would be an aftermarket or maybe dealer direct in Canada, one that will shipp to Australia.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum dude, must love Mustangs a bunch because I'm guessing it's not cheap to buy two cars and then ship them all the way from here to there and then convert them to right hand drive. Big project. Got any pictures?

The Stig

Yes you are right not cheap to bring them to Aussie. In addition you have the issue of the conversion to right hand drive before you can register it.

Good day lol. I would think you could find them somewhere in Canada or maybe Europe, good luck

Nice car. You sure didn't just important any old Mustang. Did you import 2 Roush 427R's?

Wow nice ride. I think they usually just replace the cluster when they import them from the U.S to Canada.

You will need to purchase two new clusters. Contact a Ford Dealer. They will sell you the guages. All you do is give them your VIN on purchase plus the miles/kilometers on the car. They order the clusters and burn your VIN and Mileage into it. They then ship the cluster to you. You then take it to the dealer and they will pull the as built information from your old cluster and load it on the new and install the new cluster and your done. I looked for companies that make a metric guage plates but could not find any.

Sweet ride, you have got to post up picks of the right hand drive conversion when done!I had no idea you had to change it to right hand drive. Thought you could just drive it as is.
You must really like mustangs as someone else said. For the price by the time your done you could have probably bought a pretty bad *** Holden v8 no?
Welcome to the club BTW!

Thanks for the info,
Do you have a web site/ phone number for a Ford dealer in Canada that I can arrange through? One that would ship to Australia?
The cars are new and the Ford dealers in Australia do not have the facilities to do burn the as built info as you mentioned. Mustangs are private import to Australia, Ford Australia stopped importing around 2005. So anything after the shape change back to the more tradional ( 2007 onwards) is at your own doing. Hence the issue with complaince in Australia and the mountains of red tape to achive compliance.
Thanks for your help!
