shn7 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 The one thing I miss when out blatting is being able to know the time. This is especially a problem when fully togged up for a winter blat. So I'm looking for recommendations for a slimline large digit clock that I can attach to the dash. Preferably it would have some form of backlight to allow use in the dark. Don't mind if it's powered from it's own battery of from the car's supply though if this is the case it's own battery as well would be good for when the master switch is off. I know I could get a cycle computer but that's simply more than I need. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian B Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 VDO do an 'analogue' clock that matches the size/style of the small dials, and is backlit in the same way - sorry don't know a link for them I'm afraid!

Andy Best Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Greengauges.com can supply an anologue clock to match the other Caterham gauges. Service was good when I needed a new speedo and Caterham could not supply. It works off the car battery and can be illuminated as the other gauges. You can always bypass the FIA switch for the clock power. Of course weight may be a problem Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frying Pan Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Steve The latest gauges are made my Caerbont. They do a 52mm clock here. Guy See some pictures of the build here. 5000 miles completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C7XAY Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Try a good motorcycle dealer. I got a stick on clock, not digital but its round, just smaller than a caterham guage and pointers can be read at night. There was a choice of colours, eg black pointers on white dial etc,. I think it was M&P motorcycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
