m2bandit Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I've been hunting for a clock but haven't had any luck finding one not made in China. I'd settle for a different country, just not one that openly says it wants to capture and control our entire supply chain. Just looking for a small simple clock that clicks into place.

Dzimm Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I'm guessing you are attempting the same rabbit hole I did. That's about the only option I could find as well and believe me their quality is pretty terrible, not something I'd put in a product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMMagnussen Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 This is what I am putting in the MJ where the factory clock should be. https://www.intellitronix.com/product-page/digital-clock-in-black-bezel-1 you don't happen to make an insert with a single round instead of the 4 switches do you?

I have a clock panel with 1 gauge hole and 2 switches on my todo list. Should be a week out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I messaged them and got a reply saying their gauges are 2 1/16" /W bezel and hole size is 1 15/16. I like their product but if I make a gauge panel that's not the standard 2 1/16 it will create complications. I'm hoping the person replying was wrong. the email came back from "accounting". Autometer has analog clocks in 2 1/16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMMagnussen Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I will check, I have a custom dash from Dan Dillner in the YJ that uses standard holes and the intellitronix fit perfect. I will dig out the comanche set and confirm. Plan is combination speedometer and tach/oil/volt/temp/fuel where the cluster is, boost and AF in the a-pillar. clock in the side panel and I have the combo gauge (gear indicator,turn signal,etc) that I want to put where the current 4wd light is.

CMMagnussen Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Bad policy telling the world (erroneously) that you sell a non standard gauge, might as well say "Buy Autometer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m2bandit Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 Not the final but I think I have about .02 " of extra space to play with between switch , gauge bezel and dash bezel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMMagnussen Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Looks good any plans for one without the switches? I will be purchasing your two lower panels which give me 4 slots and then the phone holder. Can't really use any more switches. Then I just need to figure out how to do the single round on the left side and the main cluster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMMagnussen Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Actually placement on yours looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMMagnussen Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Just a heads up, if you use the intellitronix clock it is a dollar cheaper on eBay right now with free shipping. My cart on the website showed 19.00 in shipping charges. There may be a free shipping cutoff somewhere but I think I have everything else for this project.

I was thinking of doing it offset but maybe a half inch lower than the one with rockers. I think offset will make it look more natural but too much and it leaves a lot of blank space. I can make one exactly like that for you if you want if you don't like the half inch lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMMagnussen Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 the 1/2 should work might make things easier when I try to match the other side too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMMagnussen Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I will stick with the gauge only version it will be easier for me to match the other side. I will have to show that combo setup to my brother, might be something for his XJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About a 1/4" is covered up by trim on all sides except the bottom which has a good half inch+ covered. That puts the top of the gauge just under 1/2" from the trim above it.
