Fiesta mk3 dash clock dimensions

Postby georgiocat on Mon Aug 19, 2013 11:30 am

Hello people.
As some of you may know,I have an Escort mk5 converted with the RST engine.Since I installed some gauges after the transplant,I placed them on top of the dashboard,but unfortunatelly they hide my clock.So I thought to use the Escort Cossie clock,but if I manage to find it,they sell it for gold!!!So I thought to search amongst the other dashboard clocks of Ford and see if any fits in the dashboard,where it is placed in the Cossies.I would like to know the dimensions of the Fiesta mk3 clock.Could someony measure the width and height of one?I allready tried one from a Sierra,but it is too narrow...

Hey Jay m8,how are you?Well,I will really appreciate your help.Sure I can wait,there is no hurry.I just wanna install a clock some time :Q Not that I can't live without it,but since I can do something about it...why not?So,sure,I can wait.I don't want to make life difficult,I just need the dimensions of the..."face" of the clock,if I can call it like this.Just to see if it fits in the hole in the dash,and what gap there is in case the fez clock is smaller than the cossie.I believe it is...Thank you very much again for your willing to do it.

Sorry for late reply mate.
The hole in the dash is 60mm x 60mm
I still haven't laid my hands on a clock yet though, annoying to say the least, as at one point I could move anything in the shed without a clock there lol and now they all bloody hiding!

hello Jay,thank you very much for your effort.Fiesta clock is indeed smaller from what I get,the opening on the dash is rectangular,so I guess it is not right.No need to find a clock,since you measured the opening dimensions,it is ok for me.Thanx a lot,i will find a suitable clock,or I will self improvise,I will use the internals of the clock I already have and make something like a face for the opening in my dash...Thank you very much!
