Dash clock repair...

[mdrburchette]

Some Fiats came with a 5 hole instrument cluster and some came with a 6 hole cluster to accomodate a clock.

I don't think I have a clock at all. What would it cost to get a digital one? I like the upgrade.
Where do the clocks go in the car? Dash?

on a five gauge panel, the clock went to the extreme right... about where you'd see your knuckles on the steering wheel, making it near impossible to tell the time while driving spiritedly.

Mike... time stands still when I'm driving and I never look at that clock!

Azy... are you looking for a digital clock like this instead of an analog clock?

I can always see the clock because I drive with my knees. That way I have room for a beer in one hand and a BurgerKing Whopper in the other. Who needs cup holders!

Nick,

Got my clock back today. You did a wonderful job. It looks like it is brand new! And it is actually keeping accurate time. It almost seems unreal that you do this for $25. Thank you so much!

John,

I'm glad your clock arrived fine... it was a beautiful clock and I enjoyed having it for a couple of days... it should last you another 30 years!

Nick, answer Ralph please.

I am waiting for the answer as both of my clocks are missing the set knob. By the way, does everyone eles's clock sound like a ticking time bomb as well? Everyone checking out my spider keeps on asking "what's that noise"

I'm so glad that that's the one electrical fix I have done that has not gone bad. NOT! It cloudy, loud and you can't set the time unless you disconnect the battery and wait untill the precise second to re-connect it. PITA

Ralph,
I think you should give me your clock so I could get Nick to fix it. This way when you get your digital conversion. We'll both be happy.

Why does Nick have to answer Ralph? Nick already fixed my clock and sent it back. It looks beautiful.

Ralph (aka I have a nice clock)

Ralph,
I think its time you buy another parts car. But make sure it has my future analog clock in it.

Tick-tock,tick-tock....Nick fixed my crappy clock I sent Nick not 1 ,but 3 non-working clocks!! He sent me back a beauty.and it doesnt make noise like the one in my 82!!! So..... I swapped 'em.(Please dont tell my wife).The ticking time bomb is now in the 77 and the new rebuilt ,quiet one is in my 82 Here is a pic of it installed before the swap.The one that came in the car was opaque,and non working.Thanks again,Nick.I think this is a great service you are providing ,and we all really appreciate it !!! I owe you drinks at FFO.

Craig... Looks great, hope you enjoy the clock... send me the clock on the 77, don't let your wife drive with that dirty cloudy clock, she might run you down with a golf club!

My clock is loud and fogged up x-x but it seems to be keeping time still lol

[ga.spyder]

Hey Nick,one of those clocks I sent you was the 77 clock.The one you sent back was just nicer and quieter than the one in my 82.So..... I swapped 'em.The one I put in her 77 is clear and works well,just a little noisy!
Thanks again,
Craig
