Clock delete cover?
I have seen a couple of these in the most recent issues of Excellence on a number of stripped down street cars - does anybody know who makes these? (not interested in the big red light)
Thanks - -Jeff

Personally, the Porsche clock is my favorite timepiece to look at. I mean that big face with those easy-to-see hands and dial...
As Johnny Cochran once said about Porsche ownership: "If you can't beat it, why delete it?"

MS Road & Race, 323-660-7674, has four of them on Ebay right now. The photo shows no emblem. Just a blank cover.

Clock Cover/Light/Gauge
If you want just a cover, they are easy to make for about $10. Actually I have my local plastics place cut them out. I use just a matte black piece of cast acrylic glued to a piece of plastic tubing. If I want a big lite, I can add that, or I can have a hole cut out for a gauge. Currently I have a uego gauge in there. You can also make a cover for the speedo in the same way.
 you can see my set up in the photo.

 Anyway, I'm just saying I prefer the OEM VDO clock on the 911 over almost any watch, clock, digital or otherwise. Sundials are cool too, as well as hour glasses. BTW: the clock can't weigh that much. If I can get a mid-year car down below 2,300 pounds and still have a clock, well...

What year is your car and what gets you to 2300? It all adds up. I am shooting for 2200 with an 84 Carrera. -Jeff

What gets me there? Everything that doesn't help the car drive gets torn out (except the clock). BTW: 2200 for a late Carrera - very manageable. It's just a matter of how much you're willing to part with.

"the clock can't weigh that much.
- It doesn't. I posted the gauge wts. on a thread a while back. This is in the same realm as RS door panels, deleting sun visors, golve bos door, etc. -- i.e. cosmetic, not functional.

"it all adds up..."
- The problem is that minor things do NOT add up very fast. Many are lulling themselves with false wt. savings.... "besides, it's your car, right?" - Absolutely right. If you just want cosmetics, or aesthetics, or period correct whatever... that is all up to you. Just be honest with yourself. And -- boys & girls -- it is all easier to do on paper first and then on the car itself. There is a lof of info out there. See Rennlight.com for a good start. Then search some threads. I'll try to update Thom's rennlight web page soon (I said that a few months ago too...). The models comparison has a nice list of articles too.... I also hope to do an article or a series for Rgruppe too (tho my hobby of suing the govt. keeps getting in the way). Again -- it's your car ... be honest with yourself as to what you want.
