[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 122109, member: 58"] To make a replica clock with quatrz movement here is what I used: Std Speedo body glass rim etc. Available online. Quartz movement: [URL]https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/carriage-clock-round-uts?code=J3132M[/URL] Hands for above, select what you want: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cousinsuk.com/category/carriage-clock-hands-01950335mm[/URL] I used: [URL]https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/spade-24-32mm[/URL] I drew the face up on the computer and then got a decent photo printing company to print it on 6x4. The yellow box scales the dial to the correct sze for 6x4 photo. Then glued the face to the back of an old speedo face and it has not faded in 10 years. The alternative is Russel at [URL]http://www.chronometrics.co.uk/[/URL] can probably print the faces as per the original method. Solder wires to the battery terminals and run the wires into the headlight and fit a remote AA battery holder in there so easy to change the battery. The tricky bit is the support mount to hold it all in the speedo body. Don't forget to drill a hole in the bottom of the speedo body so you can get a small screwdriver in to reach the adjustment to alter the time as required. Here is a picture of the replica I made and also the dial artwork. Simon [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_1570.JPG"]35259[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="clock 8 day-1.jpg"]35260[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
