  1. Does anyone know what an original late bay dash clock would have looked like? Thanks

    Theres a bloke on the SSVC facebook page, he 3D prints a flat blanking plate for your dash pod and it has a vinyl sticker for every model of van, it has a battery powered clock and comes with a glass disc, cheap as well,
    i may well be answering a question your not asking mind.

    Interesting, got a link?
     
  8. top end busses had a clock, like my champagne edition.

    mine doesn't work though :)

    i can connect up the power and although the hands dont move it makes a really loud ticking noise, probably loud enough to keep you awake if you were trying to sleep.. i've had no desire to fix it!

    .. also, it's now permanently pimms o'clock in my bus which is a nice touch, plus technically it is "right" twice a day

    oh, and super- top end busses had a clock with an additional timer built in for the eberspacher.

    @Razzyh, if you come up with anything I might be interested. I have a dead battery clock in mine like @rob.e but could be tempted to have a working replica of a '78

  14. My workaround, if it helps, is this:
    [​IMG]
    A vintage dash/pocket clock for £25 (there are some seriously expensive ones out there)...
    [​IMG]
    ...the clip screwed to whatever the removable (probably essential ) plastic plug in the dash.

    Clock has luminous hands & numbers and is windup = no wiring! yaaaayyy

    I was having my tea :hattip:
     
  17. I thought they had “dinner” in Cheshire?
     
  18. They do.

    Breakfast / lunch / dinner.

    If anyone from Cheshire says otherwise they are a imposter.
