Title: NOS SMITHS MIRROR CLOCK (eBay) Post by: DJ on November 15, 2013, 10:18:07 AM Authentic FE/FC or English/Other?
Looks good. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NOS-HOLDEN-SMITHS-MIRROR-CLOCK-FE-FC-FB-EK-SPECIAL-NASCO-MAY-FIT-FX-FJ-EJ-EH-HR-/181260041735?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a33f0be0 Title: Re: NOS SMITHS MIRROR CLOCK (eBay) Post by: customFC on November 15, 2013, 12:03:02 PM Close. Also missing the necessary mounting to be able to call it a mirror clock.
This is the real deal!! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/customfc2/FEFC%20Accessories/clock.jpg) Regards Alex Title: Re: NOS SMITHS MIRROR CLOCK (eBay) Post by: ridgey_didge on November 15, 2013, 12:31:32 PM Alex - can we just unpack your comment "Close".
The one on ebay has a straight top - the one in your photo has an arched (upwards) top. The one on ebay has a glow in the dark spot that the hands rotate around - the one in your photo has a gold coloured spot. Are these observations right in saying the one in your photo is the FE-FC version and the one on ebay is a similar but non-authentic version for FE-FC purposes? And, as I asked recently, does anyone have the specifications for the mirror mounting? Alex, can you PM me details of whose clock is in your photo so that I can get measurements made for a mounting?

I see the subtle differences (spring speed adjustment window & the other things David picked up).
The title description on eBay could just be an honest mistake I guess, but I think I'd rather spend the money on the right one now that I know the difference.

I also had a NOS one in the box with bracket which went into my 3 door van. Clock in the picture is correct, not the clock on ebay. I have a spare clock if anyone is interested in it.
I copied out a plan of the bracket before selling the car but now the drawing has gone missing Ken Title: Re: NOS SMITHS MIRROR CLOCK (eBay) Post by: DJ on November 15, 2013, 04:52:30 PM Ken, certainly interested. Please PM details & cost etc.
