The slightly tricky part of an installation is to carefully cut out the mounting hole with the groove to fit the clock and then wrap the leather tightly around the hole. This is not anywhere near the way it was mounted in a Ford. Several years ago I was paying $50-$100 for a used clock and after some cosmetic work and a quartz mechanism you had about $200 in it. I got the NOS units for someone that would want to do a Pebble Beach restoration of an original. The judges would want to hear the ticking of the original mechanism. By the way, the hard part to find is the ammeter "charge" light-the light between the turn signal lamps. I found some NOS a while back. |
I see. So there isn't a seperate ring, its the case that was chromed?
