I see it's a render. Doesn't seem practical to me, don't like the lay-out and seems not handy. Better drill the hole on the right site, nicer lay-out and better to see for the driver, which is the most important user of the clock.

This is the lay-out in my 4/4!

.. at the end .. it is an individual POV.. Which is good.. and the rest of the story is .. i am not looking on the clock that often when taking her out for a stroll..

Did you consider using a combined temp./oil pressure gauge, then fitting the clock in the vacant position to maintain symmetry of the central panel. With the benefit of no modification to the existing dashboard required.

Thank you for asking > the benefit of no modification to the dashboard itself > > was the focus of how do i get a VDO clock mounted. second how do get the clock separated from other indicators for quick reference what caused the final layout > there is an additional switch installed for heated windscreen with a timer function which switches automatecally the windscreen heater off after 15 minutes. I kept all the original parts, so … if my son, as the next owner of her, wants to set it back to factory delivery status.. he can simply do so .. it will be then his decision to drill that 52mm hole .. enjoy ..
