Thanks for the great review. What can I say I'm thrilled that your so pleased with it and it looks great in those pics . looks like you havea very nicely presented car as well.

Anyone wanting one of these please pm me or email me [email protected].

$105 including postage and packaging.

I'm also looking into creating a version with smaller digits similar to the original size on the OEM clock. I'll pay on here wheni have stock ready.

Jeff,

Did you use the original wires where the OEM clock plugged in as your ground and ignition sources? If not, where did you tap in for each respectfully? I ordered one of these from Mark, and just wanted to ask ahead of time. Thanks!

Jeremiah - I sent you a PM regarding this. In short, yes I cut the plug off the dead original clock and spliced it into my new one (only needing the ground and the keyed hot).

I just got my unit in today. Man, this sucker is beefy. Mark did a spectacular job with this clock. I can't wait to install it in a lil' while.

Definitely worth the money on build quality alone.

I couldn't remember off the top of my head if the wires were like that when it arrived or if I did that, so I went back and looked at the pics I took after unpacking it. The wires were tucked in just as they are in the pic above. Just figured I'd check and make sure for you.

Ok, thanks Mike. I think I can handle tucking the wires in to match that. Mine was routed over and around the acrylic, so I'll take the top off and route it under to get to the switch/button location. I'll see if the extra thickness of wiring being in there firms up how well the button sits in its place. Thanks.

Well, it's been nearly a year since the whole "clock gate" sarga and my I thought I'd put an idea out to everyone. I now have access to a 3D printer, and was thinking about creating a new clock based around similar electronics as before. Indeed, similar to this clock:

Now, let me make it very clear, for fear of starting up another "flame him" thread, this would be me importing the clock electronics and putting them into a really nice, quality, perfect fitting, new clock module and selling it for about the same price as before. Yes, it would mean importing the PCB ect from China (which lets face it most companies do anyway), but after doing loads of research the electronics just can't be found anywhere in the UK or Europe for this, unless I order a bespoke PCB. If this is what you want then Rob has a clock which is made from the ground up and is also a great product. Looking at this module it would have:

12/24H functions.
Volt meter
temp sensor
original style "two" button function.

But, would not have display dimming...

What do people think?

As long as it works well, installs easily and doesnt cost a million quatloos should be fine...even with chinese bits....hehe.
