solution to my analog clock wish - pics

[doccoch]

I'd posted before searching for a solution to my desire to have an analog clock. Not for everyone but simply my wish. I found a pretty good one after a lot of experimentation. I have pics of my solution, but since then I changed the steel to an all black that blends completely. It's def not for everyone but also gives some options if you want anything else small mounted in good view.

I used a 4" melding plate, bent it with my bench vise and rubber hammer into a "Z" that fits snug on top of and in front of the steering column shroud. I attached the right angle with 3M double sided black adhesive. Can be removed easily and place on my GT500 when it arrives.

If interested, the clock is from Formation and so far it's kept perfect time to the second.

and like I said, now that I replaced the steel plate to all black one, it really blends well

Interesting. Any reason you wanted the analog clock?

Why doesn't someone put a clock where the performance pack gauges go

Shit no. My ocd would not work with that. Its blocking part of your gauges from your view

No, it is not blocking anything from MY view. From the angle of the pic, I'd have to be a 4 foot granny with my eyes level with the top of the wheel. I wasn't trying to convince you to do it, and as the post states, it's not for everyone.

I have tried and tried to figure out a way to do that --- I still might. I thought I could just replace a gauge, but if you take apart the performance pack, they are not individual circular gauges, but one flat connected board. I don't use either of those gauges so would be perfect for me.

Just my preference. I can't see my digital when I have CarPlay on and my phone mount blocks. Plus. I just prefer analog. I explained in a previous post.

I decided not to get a Formotion -- cheap @ss they would not give me a military discount.
