Clock Bracket

I`ve given a few other members some of the correct backing foam that is fixed to the clock bracket and thought some of you may be interested to see how I did mine.

Starting with my freshly painted bracket.......

Image

And freshly rebuilt clocks........

Image

I made some templates out of card and checked that they fitted correctly.

Image

I then drew the shape onto the foam.....

Image

And cut out all 4

Image

I used a hydraulic fitting size 12L and hammered it onto a block of wood to make the circular cut out.

Image

Until I ended up with all 4. You will notice that one has a semicircular piece cut out on the edge. I do not know why this is there but followed the shape anyway.

Image

I made sure that they fitted the backs of the clocks

Image

Before gluing them into place

Image

And finally the worst part...............waiting 24 hours for the glue to properly cure.

Hi TC

Not that I'm jumping on the bandwagon or nuffink.......

but how's about a set for me too?... :D

Cash waiting - It'd be nice to have one less job to think about

Mainekz. I diid give you enough for at least 2 sets of clocks..............or did it blow away again :?: :lol:

If you want to get it back to me I could cut you a pair out and sort out Padders at the same time.

I`ve just given my last bit to a member but could get more next time I`m in Wycombe.
