Can anyone help me with specifications for a bracket for a Smiths Clock (that goes on the rear view mirror stalk). If someone has a bracket for sale that would be ideal. Ken McL did post a few years back that he had a drawing for the bracket, but I have checked with him and alas, he has it no more.
If someone has a clock with bracket, could you do the measurements for me and maybe send me some close up photos? My email address appears on my profile.
Cheers David

I can cut them on the waterjet supply as a flat pack probably only take 30sec to cut ?

I'll send you the drawing, send me a pm with your address. The drawing is on paper, not electronic.

Distance between holes C is the distance between the holes on the mirror (I didn't have one here to check). The distance B to the side wall is half that distance minus 2 mm

Beat me by 30 seconds.
I got 36mm but leave it at 35mm due to parallax error

Pete - send me your fax number by PM and I will send you the diagram once my hard copy arrives from Ken. I am happy to be your first customer at the (no room for bargaining) price of $6.
Cheers David

Had a go at tweaking the shot Ken posted but no better for reading a couple of the dimensions, sorry. A fax may not transmit any better even on a fine setting. Enlarging may work though & sending several pages to put together. It's a good diagram, maybe just a couple of closer shots of the measurements would do the trick.
