I'm about to start a restoartion on a 500R (LHD). The dash panel needs to be replaced. Unfortunately these 500R panels seem to be incredibly expensive (~£260), however, the 500F panel is a bit cheaper (~£200).
The only apparent difference I can see from looking at as many photos as I can find is an additional hole to the right of the instrument cluster that is present for 500F but not present for 500R.
Does anybody know if these panels are entirely identical apart from this additional hole? (I can weld the hole up if this is the case).
500F Panel:-
500R Panel:-
Thanks
