2 To 3 Clocks?

Hi all, i've got myself a set of 3 clocks to replace my 2, and also a nice dash too. My question is will i need any new brackets to hold the clocks in place? My mini is my daily drive so i'd like to know i have all the bits i need to fit the new before i rip out the old!

If the clocks attach to the rear of the new dash, then you should be fine.

If they don't, then you'll be needing the triple clock cage mount.

if i remember right if the clocks bolt to your dashoard you will have to remove the original bracket, then the dash just clamps to the top and bottom dash rails. You may have i wire with a bullet style connector on it which is what you connect to the rev counter. im sure someone will be on here soon that can tell you in more detail than me if needed

If your replacing your nippon 2 clocks with the same 3 clocks then as taffy said, your current 2 clock is held by a bracket, so if your getting a 3 clock then you will need the 3 clock bracket, the same also with the plastic binnacle shroud

However when you buy a new dash you just screw (small screws!) your nippon clocks straight to the new dash. So then you can just remove the brackets as they are not needed.



The bolts for these brackets are in the engine bay bulkhead

This link might help a bit for the rev counter wires, scroll to the bottom Clicky

Wont take long to do so shouldn't be a problem, just make sure you got some new brackets (different brackets to above) for fitting your new dash to the dashrail like clivemk1mini said, also you will need to swap your mileage dials over, again no biggie, I can post up pictures on this if your not sure though, you may have a bit of trouble removing the speedo cable plastic plug from the back of the dash, can be awkward sometimes.

If you can post up any pictures of what you got there then we can tell what you need, if anything?

Excellent, thanks for the pictures, they tell a thousand words! My new clocks and dash should be arriving this week ( also bought a matching centre console, but don't tell the wife!) so i'll get some before and after pictures posted up.

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!

You will have to trim the indicator tunnels too, as the clocks wont sit flush against the dash.
