Voltmeter instead of Clock 1987 Porsche 911
I went through two clocks which are not cheap. i read the article regarding swapping out the clock for a voltmeter and thought about doing this. i should have done it sooner, because my alternator went out last week 76 miles away from home so i needed a tow.
i used the outer metal ring and the rubber gasket/grommet that hold the clock in the dash from my again non-working clock for this project. i purchased the same VDO Voltmeter as shown on this forum. i bought a set of hole saws, plywood, black spray paint, and a black vinyl/plastic.
i purchased a non working clock on ebay for $25, in case i sell the 911 in the future to make it original again. if i had to do the job over again i would have made it a little differently, because it would have saved me a lot of time. it turned out excellent.
