I've got a lovely console & was all set to install it into the coupe & when I started to fit the clock to the console it doesn't fit! I think I must be missing some kind of adapter plate/bracket that holds the clock to the console. According to the wiki there's supposed to be something like this : "27389-H2300 SPACER FIXING CLOCK TO CONSOLE BOX"

heres the console & clock



backside - you can see the mount tabs/holes don't line up plus their all the way up against the back side of the console & the mount tabs for the console are at least an 1" away - I assume there has to be some kind of spacer mount thing I'm missing....



Datsun blank/cover & mount






heres a pic of my steering wheel for good measure



Somebody sell me one of those 27389-H2300 spacer thingy's please!!

Thanks.
Evan

Looks like your clock originally came from the dash? You're definitely lacking the mounting bracket to fit the console

I'm pretty sure I used the standard console blanking plate bracket on my clock to mount it, did you remove the plastic "Datsun" blanking plate and test for fitment?

I got the clock with a bunch of misc parts I bought a while back so no brackets or anything else with it. The blanking plate wont fit as the depth is too shallow - the clock wont mount & it'd need a hole for the clock ti slip thru to make it work.

Anybody have one of the clock mount brackets? Otherwise I'll improvise & make some mounting tabs.

I'll pull mine apart and take some pics just in case :)

You are totally right, I must have been thinking about a custom fitting I have made in the past to fit the clock with the original blanking mount, it's been a while. Here is a pic of my dodgy mounting bracket :)

This was mine. Pretty sure it was original before I sold it:

hey evan i just made a plate to hold mine in just like nige's haha

love your floor mats evan

thanks for looking guys, yeah it's a weird plate/mount thing I guess. What the hell is that spring / steel rod for - how does that hold it in?

I like the strap method, seems simpler then my individual mount tab idea I was toying with.

The mats came in the same batch of misc parts I got the clock out of as well as the cowl vents I repaired & sent to Carps. I scrubbed the hell out of the mats then I had the brilliant idea of using SEM bumpercoater paint to change the red inset color on the drivers side......didn't work well, maybe I can scrub the paint out of it again - I liked the red better.
