Just pull the bottom forwards, it should be a friction fit. If not ..remove clock and superglue a couple of small "stops" What colour does it light up?? The frame looks a little bent, you need to file off a bit of the locating lugs to correct that.

thanks haydn, ill have a lookie in the daylight tomorrow and see if i can get it in a bit better.
lights up orange at the moment which is ok as the cd player is red, red or green would probably be better. do you know a part umber or bulb type for it if i decide to change him?

Along the same lines. . . .

I've just fitted one of Haydns clocks & mighty fine it looks too!

A couple of niggles though, the light stopped working after an hour. (haven't checked the wiring yet though) & the fit was a little tight, a bit of a squeeze width wise which has made it curve in the middle at the top & bottom. ( will have a bash at filing off a bit of locating lugs)

All in though - a very nice touch to the dash that really does look right.

Hi Meek tv & MM, there is a bit of a knack to get the surround to fit perfectly chaps...(some fit spot on first time, others dont :roll: )

The two little lugs at the top of the shroud has a recess that is supposed to slot into the ridge above.

The recess isn't quite big enough to slot into place,i used a very sharp scalpel,and a very steady hand to nibble away at the lugs till they eventually slotted in nicely.

The more time you take with the lugs, the better the fit :wink:

Don't shout at me if you chop your thumb off though! :lol: :lol: :lol:

It was a suprisingly time consuming "adjustment" I must have been fiddling with it for over an hour! (the clock! :roll: )

P.S. like the height sign,where's that from? :wink:

Contact me for bulbs. (THIS IS NOT A ADVERT) If you have a led bulb fitted don't forget they are polarity sensitve. If it won't work then turn 180 degrees and try again.

a bit of shaving down with a craft knife and its in a lot better.
biggest improvement is i realised the iso connector was fouling something behind the cd player so it wasn't goin in all the way, bit of a tweak and a little brute force and its all sitting much nicer. thanks peops 8)
