De Lorean EuroTec

I've been trying to sort out a replacement clock as the clock on VIN10719 had been replaced years ago with an after market cruise control.
After quite a bit of research and development I've managed to manufacture a fully functioning replacement for the clock using modern components. It has battery back-up and comes complete with a new front lens, fixing points and enclosure. Time setting is pretty simple with one "push-button" hole, similar to the stock option. It also comes in a choice of colour: green, blue, red and amber. Both the front lens, enclosure and LED unit are supplied in the chosen colour.

At the moment I've just about finalised the design of the unit and will be fitting it to 10719. I've got a further five green units ready to go, and possibly one blue version as well. Red and amber versions can be made up to order, as can any additional orders.

Below are a few images of the unit I managed to take this weekend. The one in the actual dash is the blue version I created, but I'll take a few pics of the green version in the next couple of days in VIN 10719, just to give you an idea.

All parts are laser cut to size, and the lens is a perfect fit. Connection to the car is simply via a live and ground 12V wire, which can be done to the original clock wiring, or as I have done to a permanent 12V feed (similar to the amp). The unit simply bolts onto the original clock fitting posts under the console plate with two washers and two nuts and is very secure.

In effect the units are "version 1.6" (a few alterations after testing so far) so I've not tested them long-term, but the electronics are good, and held secure in the frame. Any suggestions or criticisms are welcome.

If people are interested I'm looking to sell the first four units at £55, which includes postage and packaging. This is MUCH lower than any other replacement clock out there.

If you're interested then PM me through here, or email me at mark@flux3d.co.uk

Sweet !

I'd have one

Nice job, but I couldn't help noticing your hazard switch is upside down

lol, oh yeah! Duh! Well the AC panel is off again so I'll have to make sure I put it back the right way up......or maybe keep it that way and be different.

Admin, I'f you can sort out my engine and valve clearance you can have one for free mr....

PM sent Mark,

cheers

a

one sold, four green versions left at £55 each. Get them quick or they'll be gone!

Il take one , oh no hang on I don't need one

Top work! Another battery drain less..

Well, the previous versions of both the clock and the new clock lens proved very popular, mainly in the US and in Europe. On DMCtalk.org there is a very nice review page started by overlandman. It includes some pictures of the first versions of the clocks in peoples cars, and can be found at http://dmctalk.org/showthread.php?7530-Flux3d-s-LED-CLock

But, quite a few people wanted a smaller sized display, so I've re-engineered the clock and here is the new version. It features a smaller display, more in keeping with the size of the original OEM clock, as well as a few more features.

New smaller display
battery backup when the clock is off
Time adjustment with a single button
bright and clear display
solid construction
24H clock
available in green and blue

As previously they are very easy to fit, just bolting onto the original studs that attached the OEM clocks. Connection is made to the original clock display by two connections, with a positive feed either taken from the ignition +12 (Purple) or permanent +12 (green) and a negative to the black.

The new versions are £72, which includes postage to anywhere in the UK, recorded and signed for. Available in both green and blue LED display.

In addition I'm also offering a new service where text or an image/design can be laser etched onto the lower part of the clock lens to customise the look of the clock. All you need to do is send me an image (black and white best) or the text you want adding to the lens. £15 extra for this service. I'll be doing a sample soon and will upload pictures for everyone to see.

I also have the larger versions of the clock available for the same price, as pictured above. At present all the blue LED versions have already sold in this larger size

Oh, and before anyone points it out again, yes I know the hazard switch is upside down. Its been that for so long I've grown to quite like it that way round.
