Show us your clocks ;)

[Grier]

Looking for some inspiration on what to do with the clocks in the BG, be that LED conversion or painted inserts/carbon what have you.

Much appreciated folks

Carbon and anthracite on my old BG, metallic graphite grey on my current RB.

Liking the bottom pic, is that off your RB ?
Lovely motor btw

 

[Jekyll]

Yes, did it last night/today.

 

[Grier]

I can see a day of inlet/engine cover/clock surrounds painting ahead.

Difficult at all?

 

[Jekyll]

Haha, ive just done the exact same!

No not really. Its a dash top removal job. There is a guide on here. Then you unplug the 2 clock plugs, t10 torx for the back screws, unclip the screen and then use a small flat screwdriver to prize off the surround around the edges.

Scuff, primer, paint, lacquer, flatten and polish and refit. Mine just popped back in the clock surround. Try to not knock the needles. If you do, plug the clocks back into the loom and start it up, adjusting to suit where it was originally. Best to take a pre pic.

Brilliant mate thanks a bunch, just trying to find little things to do to put my stamp on it you know

 

[Jekyll]

Your welcome.

Oh yeah, i totally get that. The interior is personal, but the engine will always look better with paint.

Have a look a my thread if you get time as ive recently painted my engine parts the same colour as my dash strips and clock bezel. You can get a better idea of the colour that way.

Just woke from a migrane, had to read the title twice/three times.

@bloke What dial is that/where from?

@bloke What dial is that/where from?

Just a white LED conversion.

 

[bloke]

love how people always have to ask what they are:wink:

 

[Jekyll]

I only ask as the backing looks lighter and ive never seen renault sport like they have on a ph1 on ph2 dials before.

 

[BoatNonce]

Ph1 back and a Ph2 front

 

[Grier]

Is it a major task doing the led conversion ? Also what bulbs ?

 

[BoatNonce]

PLCC2 SMDs. 10 in number if I recall correctly.

If you're at least half decent with a soldering iron then it's alright.

I think there's a guide on here too.

 

[Grier]

Cheers,
Been a while since I've soldered anything so might give that a miss, the painting however is a go.
