OBRUT Posted 29October, 2014 Report Share Posted 29October, 2014 After the following to suit a 67 911: 1. head rest (external screw on type - like the 356's used) 2. roof rack 3. clock I know 1 and 2 in partcular are very long shots but I thought I would start local before looking o/s.

twood Posted 30October, 2014 Report Share Posted 30October, 2014 Years ago in my 76 2.7L and if you have the clock but it is no longer working I replaced the internals with a battery powered cheap electric clock mechanism that I bought off Ebay. I simply removed the internal mechanism and screwed the clock mechanism behind the face and remounted the original needles to the clock. It was still working perfectly until a sold the car a couple of years later. You could not tell any difference from the original clock unless you took it out and looked inside.

Caver Posted 30October, 2014 Report Share Posted 30October, 2014 I can imagine the confusion in the workshop...."I've disconnected the battery but the clock is still running!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I though I was clever ( maybe not completely authentic though). Cost of my clock mechanism from eBay-$1.96 Quartz Clock Mechanism AutoAtlana Make a selection Rebuilt/Reman: $179.50 New/Replacement: $351.91 Genuine Porsche: $525.95 I rather have lots of other things for my car for $524 but I hear where you are coming from.
