[DeTomaso] Pantera clock

Apologies if this is old news to y’all, I was not aware.

 

I’ve been corresponding with Tim Keller from Auto Meter, and they’ve come up with an analog clock that is a near match for the smaller Pantera gages (scroll down the thread, past the coffee gage, which, by the way, is for those of us from Seattle only . . .;-)).  I’ve asked him if he can give us a discount for a group buy, didn’t know what the interest might be, so I thought I’d pass it along anyway.  When I moved my window switches to the console behind the shifter, I covered over the window switch holes in the new aluminum gage panel with carbon fiber vinyl wrap in hopes I’d find a clock like this to put in there sometime in the future.

 

I’ll let you know what his response is

 

Thanks

The gauge I have designed requires a 2-1/16” diameter hole, and the finished OD of the bezel measures 2-5/16”.

The chrome bezel does differ slightly, and I have taken a close up pic, shown below:

 



 

 

The gauge comes supplied with an incandescent bulb assembly, and is to be wired as shown below:

 



 

 

We can thank autocorrect for Panera – however, we do manufacture gauges for Starbucks!

Most excellent!  The only match I’m looking for is in the size and chrome bezel.  Is it self-contained, or does it need to be wired for a light?  I will be ordering one soon.  Oh, and I believe you meant the Pantera Owner’s Club, unless the Panera Bread folks are having clocks made as well ;-).

Thanks again

Hi Mike,

 

We do not offer the service of modifying OEM gauges.

 

 

However, I have been working with the Panera Owner’s Club of America in designing replica gauges.

I believe you may be looking for this:



 

Please be advised, this will not match your OEM gauges perfectly, as we are not utilizing OEM Pantera materials.

Cost is $109, free continental shipping in the US, and a three week lead time to fabricate.

 

 

 

Thank you,

Have a gage for my 74 Pantera that I would like converted to an analog clock. Gage is approximately 2". would you be able to replace the guts and face with a clock mech such that it would look close to original?
