Where can I get a brokendown dash clock?
 
My car didn't have a clock when I got it, but rather this home made vacuum gauge. I was thinking of replacing it with a voltage meter but I need a donor clock to start with. Any suggestions?

eBay would be a good place to start. Several non working clocks available. Search

I've got one from a '77 I will sell. Send me a PM.

I've got a bunch on the way to me. I hope they're working but will sell one either way. 706-392-2580. Problem is they won't be here till next sat if u can wait that long. Might trade for your guage and beer money. Regards. Mark

I'm interested to see how you're going to place the voltmeter inside the clock donor housing. I was thinking of doing the same with a wideband gauge. Are you going to make a custom faceplate to match the other gauges?

End of this thread shows my solution. I also build a wide band AFR gauge using a custom face in a clock housing with the Innovate gauge mechanism. I'll post some pics

Excellent - thanks! Look forward to seeing the wideband implementation.

Here's a couple pics of my AFR gauge. Should probably start a new thread so we don't hijack this one. It was not hard to build but took some time and parts from a clock and a silver button and glass from a combo gauge.

I had North Hollywood Speedometer convert my oil tank level to a volt meter, perhaps you could find another fuel / oil tank gauge and have both of the little gauges converted to something useful, they're especially talented at this kind of thing.

Brilliant work - look forward to seeing the thread on this one (especially how you printed the new face). I forgot that the clock glass would not be appropriate.

This looks awesome! I just sent them a message to see if they can still create a gauge like yours!
