original clock housing MM

Post by TvdWerf »

I found a clock and bought it, to put in my MM, but I need to know the details from the original one to build it in as original as possible.
When I got the clock here, I recognized a part in my box as the clock mechanism ;)[frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame]
What to change to fit it on the right way?

The Minor clock fits from the outside so that little tab on the side might be an obstacle. The hand adjustment will need to be removed before fitment too (easy) then refitted.

You'll need to change the bezel too. Tracking down a suitable one might be a challenge but I'm sure there will be a Smiths gauge of the same size that would give up one easily enough. A gauge repair specialist might be the way to go.
