Default Help needed - dash gauges back to OEM clock

Just bought a blobeye. Previous owner had a triple gauge pod put in where clock is. Its a very reflective plastic or its actual carbon fibre, I don't know. Anyway, I don't really like it as it rattles and streetlights reflect off it on to the windscreen and is distracting. Are there any how-to available for doing this or would I be better going to an autospark? And where would I get an OEM clock at? If anyone wants to swap their clock for these pods I'd be on for that. Not interested in any money for them.

It depends how they were wired in the first place, some have used the clock wires for the dials and if they cut the loom.


If the loom is intact then it could just be plug n play for the clock, breakers sell the clock for about £20.


What gauges are they ??


I have just taken my centre clock out too.

TBH honest I pay no heed to them, so I couldn't tell you what they are. Will be back at the car soon so will be able to say for certain then, but I think one of them might be water temp, but isn't that on the dash already beside the fuel gauge...? There's a blitz boost gauge on the a-pillar that I pay more attention to but I won't miss the other 3 at all when they are gone.

I'm in Northern Ireland.

Edit; oil pressure, oil temp, water temp

could you not just get the pod flocked or covered in a satin or none reflective wrap, the gauges are worth keeping if they work, they may save you a big bill (if you pay attention to them)
