Dead Clock

#1 Post by tony » Sat May 14, 2011 4:03 am

I've given up trying to find a reliable clock for the S (and the TC), besides I have one on the CD player and one one my wrist.
Decided to fill the hole up with an oil pressure gauge. Ideally I would have liked an electric one but, they're expensive and don't look right.
I've settled for a Smiths one from a Mini,cheap to buy and relativly easy to fit.
I put a spare eyeball vent in the lathe, parted off about 1/2'' of it from the front. This for some reason is a perfect fit in the hole the clock came out of. Had to bore the centre out a bit to fit the gauge. Used a Hillman Hunter nylon (?) pipe and fittings, had to modify the gauge end slightly to fit the gauge.Will try to upload pics.
