You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.

Clocks look really smart...

What dimensions did you bend your brackets to? or does it depend on the angle you wish to mount the clocks?

Surround has been Knocked about a bit. Maches the rest or the van :lol: :lol: Iv been looking for a new one


Brackets depends on the angle and position. I dave cut about 4" off the top and about 1/2" off the bottom and curved the edges to mach the clocks. but i done it ferr hand. it will look neater next time i do one 8)

capri is different - i tried to fit some capri ones in my mk2 escort (which is the same as cortina/mk3/4 transit) and they wouldnt go strait in - it is possable with some modding cos ive seen a mk2 escort with them fitted!!! :D

capri 6 pot ones are the best looking ones aswell 8)
