I looked up a 2005 Mustang cluster on Ebay just now, and that is clearly different than the BA/BF, (much rounder, and without the black facia, so I don't know where you got the idea that it's identical to a US-built model.
Suggest this thread is moved somewhere else. Cheers, |

Lol.. that's almost the same as for example suggesting a Falcon and a Mustang have the same suspension, just because the wheels have 5 studs.
You will find that there were few parts in common between the AU-Fords and the US-Fords. (V8 engines are imports from US, but that's about it). |

why do we have to try and put others down. He has different opinion than yours, you think (rightly or wrongly) (I dont care which) that you are right...Leave it at that.

I believe what he was looking at, was a Shelby Cobra kit car that has had Falcon V8 running gear installed. The builder/owner just so happened to install a BA/BF cluster into the kit car that the OP has seen, as he has chosen to reuse the Falcon engine looms and ECU..
