A Street Sleeper is reborn! THE END

[procta]

well since I swopped over the electrics on the red one 6 years ago, from the metro electrics to the later R100 electrics, Some thing really bugged me, and that was the clocks. The Rover metro had a light symbol on the clocks , that lit up when the lights were on, but sadly I lost that when I switched to the R100 electrics, as the R100 had the hazard warning triangle there instead. So when I put the hazards on the light symbol would flash, so this time. With the new car, I have decided to iron out that problem.

here is the Rover metro clocks, with the said symbol.





so after keeping my eye out on the bay of e for a cheep set of clocks,
I managed to buy these.


with the hazard symbol in



the metro hazard switch used to flash instead, where the R100 one pictured here doesn't


so I stripped the R100 clocks for the piece I needed, and robbed and binned the rest.



then made a start stripping mine clocks out,



I carefully took mine to bits, and made sure I didn't damage anything.


the little piece removed,


new one swopped over,


clocks going back together,



all back in and working





So another step in ironing out something that I wanted to do with the old metro!
I could have tried to get hold of a set of R114 gsi clocks, but I am not paying daft money for them, for the sake of a symbol! Also no way am I going to buy the piece brand new either! for daft money from rimmer bros!
when I have just bought a basic R110 clock set for £12 quid posted! ( costed about that to post them anyway, and it was 30min job all in anyway.
I want this car to be better than the 1st one was.
