**************************************
The dashes are of solid walnut, not like the original equipment. The dash
I got fit ok, but the gauge openings had to be relieved, and in the end I
ended up refinishing the old one.

*************************************
Yes, they are interchangeable. They don't "screw on" but are held on by
tabs on the underside. You simply turn the bezel until the tabs line up
with the slots in the body of the gauge and the bezel "should" come off.
