Dave McDonald Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 I'm considering installing a clock i my TR5 walnut dash in place of the instrument illumination rheostat in the centre. Does anyone have a contact for someone who could reliably cut and recess the required larger hole for a 2" clock, without damaging the veneer, in the North Notts/South Yorks/Lincs area?

tthomson Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 I'm not particularly familiar with TR5 dash, so others may advise differently, but you may find that the metal behind the wooden dash also needs to be modified to accept the clock. The rheostat has a fairly narrow fixing, typically secured to the metalwork using a thin nut. i.e. Nowhere near the diameter of the clock. Good luck TT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave McDonald Posted April 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Tony, Thanks for commenting but the TR5/6 back steel dash has a large clear opening behind the 4 x 52mm dia gauges and the rheostat which will allow the fitting of a clock. Still seeking anyone who can make this cut out for me if anyone can help please? Dave McD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
