I'm in the process of redoing my interior on my '72 including a 1 din CD player, and as many of you, my clock doesn't work. I happened by the 99 cents store, and picked up a small AA battery powered quartz clock. After taking it apart, I installed in onto my Vette's clock face and transplanted the hands, and an hour later I have a working clock complete with a sweep second hand, not bad for a buck.

And you have to unbolt the dash to change the battery every 6 months?

Schmucker

He should remotely mount the battery or wire it into the car battery. It would need a few resistors then.

Actually it's just 1 AA battery. I left the little plastic door off, and can be changed as easily as replacing a bulb, but it should last a year, I think.

Z-man

Sounds like a good idea. I've seen some of those last several years in clocks.

Now how much does it cost to do this from ecklers or midamerica?

Buffalo Dude

I think it was $60+


I like mine because it's always right. Well, twice a day anyway.

I knew they had "clock conversion kits."

Lowbuck, great job!! If you post some pics and slightly more detailed instructions I would consider nominating you to the Bubba Hall of Fame!!
