repro clocks fitting......

[gordon62]

Hi all,
I knew you had to make some mods to fit these clocks, am I correct in that you have to remove some metal from the clock brackets.......

Yeah, you will ideally need a Dremel or similar to open out the original bracket. The tacho needs more work than the speedo side.


This is my post on the job from another site ;)


So, in last weeks instalment I had fitted a new tacho but it made the speedo look tatty, so a new speedo was sourced to even up the look of the clocks:

Old clock



Old binnacle:

Now, to fit these aftermarket clocks, a degree of bracket modification is necessary as the back of the new clocks are a different shape. The part that houses the odometer is slightly wider:

It means some work with a Dremel and a file to remove part of the bracket and allow the clock to seat properly ( the tacho needs more work than the speedo) but it is an easy job and just takes a few minutes with the right tools.


Then all back together and a complete new set of clocks looking all pretty

They new clocks look really nice.

What does it cost for them?
And where from?

I got mine from Z-Power, about 70 quid give or take.. and they are mechanical one"s, not electronic............
