With a bit of fiddling about, yes.There are many after-market
alternatives as well, or you could make your own. Drawbacks of the
dash you are talking about are a very small glovebox and no other
storage; and an instrument binnacle which hides the lower half of its
dials beneath the steering wheel rim... not to mention the oil
pressure warning light!

Just checked the dash for my friend, it is a perfect fit between the door
seals, but 15mm higher in the middle, when measured top to bottom across the
radio hole,
so it looks like a little fine tuning with a jig saw is called for,

Thanks. All a few years old now. Spent a summer photogrphing as many
Mnis as possible at the Silverstone 40th anniversary, Mini in the Park
and on the Riviera run. Most variants covered, I think, but no two
Minis are the same <g>.

At last,
had to manufacture new retaining clamps, just like the after market dashes,
also had to loosen the 3 top dash
retaining nuts, then lift the top dash section as high as possible, put the
Cooper dash in place, then tighten down the top dash nuts, it went in but
was a bit of a struggle,
