[Tigers] Dash

[Brian Glenn]

Joe,You can find decent originals on eBay. Note gold lettering for MkI and silver for MkIa and MkII.
You may also consider a 2194 Smith's clock. Same face as original Tiger clock but positive ground. Also occasionally on eBay.

I'm putting my dash back together and the Rootes Group badge that goes in the clock hole has faded lettering.  I don't see any way to restore that and I don't see any reproductions out there.  So I started looking for a clock to fill the hole.  Most of the gauge companies only have clocks for 2-1/16" holes.  Speedhut has a pretty good looking clock that is 2-5/8" (just a little bigger than the original hole) and the price is good at $79.95 . 

The Smiths website shows best match to the original Tiger clock in the right size and it is listed as being for the Aston Martin DB5.  
But the price is about $482.  Too much for me.
So my question to the group is, has anybody come up with a suitable clock that will fit the hole and look period correct?
Thanks,Joe Brown
