Replacement dash clock

[PSH]

Hi Guys

I seem to recall that someone in the past fitted an aftermarket clock in their 944 which fitted in the original window. I think it had extra features such as temp gauge?
Was it someone here and was it successful? my screen has collected some moisture and rather than spend a lot of money on a genuine replacement, I'm trying to find something cheaper that will not only blend in with the original look but also have more modern features.

Any ideas chaps?

There are repair kits for the original, about £35 ish

cheers Martyn, I did see the repair kits, wanted something a bit more modern... I've taken a punt on a small digital clock face from China.. who knows if it will work but at only £3.83 I have little to lose.

this is true but getting it mounted without cocking up a expensive bit of plastic....................... that bit is £50 new

True, but I've found a clock who's screen size is very close to the original. It's about the same width and 10mm longer than the opening in the dash trim. Once I have it I'll see if can be wired to use the same buttons as on the original...just another pet project, won't happen for a while as I doubt it will get here anytime soon from China.
