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'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

Jim
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

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.  |
