R1 clock mounting
How have other R1 guys gone about mounting the R1 clocks.
Looking at the 2003 clocks, I can't figure out how to mount them nicely.

I sandwiched the clock within the dash.
Split the clocks, and use the back of the clocks as a template and Dremel out the hole. The front can then screw onto the back with the fibre glass
dash in the middle.
I'll take a few piccies this week and put then in my archive. At the moment I've only got 7meg pics and I can't upload them.

Hi,
I'm not too sure how the R1 clocks differ from our blade ones but here you can just about see how we did ours - sorry if the pics a bit big

I think the best way is as per Ruskino80's car - nice and simple and clutter free.
2003 R1 clocks are the ones with the built in shift lights as well aren't they?

My 98 R1 clocks are mounted by sandwiching the dash between the front and rear cases.
I took mine apart and made a card board template that was a good fit to the housing. I then traced this onto masking tape on the dash and cut it out.
Make sure the hole is a bit too small and file it out to fit. see my picture archive for the finished result
