i agree. tooooo funny

 

[vdk2010]

Ok, I'm totally overwhelmed. Exactly 6 weeks ago, the #goodneighbour was willing to give away some wanted Imperial only parts. First I was speechless because he don't want to charge me for the three dash parts! Only 2 days later, after my question about shipping costs, he told me a package is already on my way to Germany. COMPLETELY FREE CHARGE FOR SHIPPING!!! (which was not cheap) :icon_eek:

I can't say THANK YOU enought for that gorgeous generosity :bighug:


The package arrived today and I was once again thrilled to see the perfectly packaged parts and the bilingual labeled package!














Thank you for your great help Dave. I owe you one!

:sSig_thanks:

Glad to see that the box arrived in one piece and not all beat up Julian. Keep us updated with that clock HOW TO,my working one ain`t so working any more! I know I`m late to reply but Iv`e been so friggin busy lately it`s time for a holiday, any good yards in Western Canada anyone? Maybe find Julian that illusive passenger side mirror! Road trip in July.:3gears:

Hey Dave. I already took it apart and found the problem. I'm trying to repair it but the clockwork is pressed together and I have to break it in order to repair it. Sounds weird... ;)

 

[Xavi3r]

what a nice gift ! cool !
I had to mek my clock repaired too. I sent it in the USA to http://www.clockwks.com/The_Clock_Worx.html
they had a NOS mecanism and news needles. it cost me 180$ at the time.

The funniest is that the clock still not working but due to an electrical issue now..

 

[vdk2010]

Ok, I tied my solution but there is more broken then I first thought. I think my clockwork is not salvageable -_-

Here is what I tried:

The capacitor in the clock I got from Dave was burned. That happens when the car is standing for a long period time with the battery connected. When the battery is very weak, both contact points are connected and there is not enough power to wind up the mechanism...




The capacitor in my rotten clock was still good, so I swapped it over.



But there is a thin metal clip on the "new" clock that's broken off. It stabilizes the mechanism from tilting and shorting.
This part of the clock is pressed together, so I can't fix that clip without breaking the whole thing.


I call this repair attempt a fail and now I'm trying something different.
If you have the same issue, Dave, you can try this repair. Maybe it works for you?!

Another option is to use a Ford clockwork, they had the same Borg Instruments mechanism and they are available, but not cheap...

I also found this conversion kit, but it's not cheap too...

I will try to retrofit a modern radio-controlled clockwork. Something like that... I hope this works!

clock

sorry to show up so late (and looking at that lovely clock you had to begin with) but the MOPAR part number for the clock is 2927337 it fits 1969-70 Imperials

I have 2

one used and untested

the other NOS

if you Google that number followed by the word Mopar you will see some of the places that have it including me


2936314 is the center air outlet. In 1969 it is for the Imperial only. Goggle shows nothing on that number

you can PM me here or reply here

 

[vdk2010]

Thanks Marty but I'm all set. I have all the parts already!

I will somehow fix the clock I have.

 

[Xavi3r]

I think I have a clock from another mopar do you want to see it ? if it can fit i can send it to you.

 

[vdk2010]

Sure, let's see it, maybe it looks good!

 

[Xavi3r]

Ok i'll see it tomorrow ;)

 

[Xavi3r]

sorry for being late. I checked today and the clock is dead too.
but if there is parts you need, i can give it to you.

 

[vdk2010]

That's a different mechanism and I can't use it to repair mine. But thanks alot for checking it out!
