Re: Direct fit clock, parts #'s included.

How to add a Cadillac Escalade (2nd gen) round clock to the optional gauge holes (vacuum gauge in my case)

We start off with the round analoge clock from a 2nd gen Escalade.


Parts # ^

Pop it out of the case:


Like this, it won't fit into the cluster, due to the lower left corner, the reset button. Pop out the little push pin, it won't be used. Then, carefully pry up the face of the clock, and rotate it 180 degrees around. Eh, yeh, smart idear eh? (ignore the the minute hand position, to be fixed later)

The locating tab at the top left is too large for the hole in the face of the clock:


Use a 5/32 drill bit to widen the hole. The plastic is so thin, you can do this by hand.



Then, use an x-acto knife to cut down the plastic rib that is next to the lower right mounting hole.


Place a drop of super glue on the lower right corner, and on the top left, and you should end up with the face of the clock oriented like this:
