before I pull them apart to find out, does anyone know if F18 internals can be used in a F16 box?

Thanks http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif

Well might not be much help but the F16 internals fit into the F18 so cant see why not vice versa.

IIRC, the F20 F18 and F16 interrnals ll fit inside each others respective casings

F20 and F16 contents are NOT swappable... there is a big ole bearing on one of the cluster that wont go into the other casing..

Im sure the F20 cluster fits into the F16 casing though??

I have an F16 & F20 cluster in the garage. I just took a look at them side by side and I reckon that you should have no problems at all.
