My new clock
 
In the interest of recycling materials I took and old inoperable clock from a 911 and grafted the movement from a broken battery operated clock and grafted it into the 911 clock. I had an old cylinder jug from a defunct 912 and voila it fit perfectly (with gasket)

Awesome!

Cool

I have six jugs from my 3.2 Carrera sitting in my garage. Put new in on recent rebuild and cant seem to throw them a way.

Mancave art.

Me like.

NICE!

That's pretty cool. Do you have any old dilavar studs to out in the holes?

(And I hate to be that guy, but your clock isn't quite clocked...)SmileWavy

Cool. Very creative.

Nice.

I'd clean the cylinder fins more but that's just me.

NY65912 03-08-2019 10:24 AM

Thanks fellas. I'm going to media blast the cylinder, eventually. The photos are "preliminary design studies" ;)

BTW, thanks for rotating the photos.

Cheers,
Mike

Multi-purpose jugs!

very cool. I have been meaning (for a decade or so) to turn mine into a desk clock since it was working fine when I replaced it with a boost gauge

I have an old clock sitting/waiting on my workbench, too. Just need an old cylinder like the OP to turn it into a desk clock.
