What diameter is a 911 clock?

I don't have access to my car at the moment and I need to know what diameter the factory clock is. I've got a feeling it's 52mm, but is anyone able to confirm that for me?

Many Thanks!

Thanks, Shawn!

Is that the diameter of the outer-most ring of the clock, or is that the measurement of the hole in the dash?

That is the actual OD of the clock.
The measurement of the outer diameter of the rubber bezel when installed on the clock is 3.295" Dia. So the hole in the dash is probably a little smaller than that. Are you making a clock plug perhaps...?

No, I've found a really nice VDO oil temp gauge with wider, more graduated markings from 60ºC - 120ºC. It even looks factory.



The irony is that I've got a perfectly working clock and I'm toying with the idea of removing it.

This clock is about 9" in diameter, but I don't think its factory.

Cool

then this size hole for a ga., which will have 4 smaller individual custom gauges inside it, will fit the clock hole, huh......

Westach is a beautiful gauge.. 4 in 1 is a done deal as soon as this thing is rolling.. I want all needles flat.. flat is good.

I've been called guinee my whole life so why change the lingo. I grew up thinking that we all have group names.. I kinda like it.

and I think I've found the 5psi ga. with surge buffer. gotta call the guy next week.......Ron

You'll need to write an article on all that work when you are done!
