[Tigers] Dash

[Allan Ballard]

Kienzle made a black faced clock that fits precisely. The white arms could be painted to match the other gauges.

They show up on EBay from time to time. This one came in my Tiger. It survived a Fire so it’s a little worse for the wear.

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 .
