Dashboard clock location with gauges

[downhillwolf]

Hi everyone!

For a while I have Tii clock on a shelf to put on my 75' 2002 that actually is Alpina kit car (A1).

Now I'm wondering and pulling my hairs how to arrange everything. In the future I will add Alpina gauge pod to have some gauges to check the engine (oil temp, oip pres. and so on...)

Now I'm putting my trust in you 02 specialist to help me with this manner.

Both option were seen on Alpina Buchloe made cars...
Option 1:

Option 2:

On this Alpina factory team 2002ti race car they chose to keep the ti clock in its stock location and added the Alpina four guage pod next to it. 

 

I prefer Option 1!

[Einspritz]

Option 1 as the most common gauges are oil temp, oil pressure, volts or amps; or at least it was "back in the day".

 

Or use a four gauge pod with clock included, but generally the gauges were supplemental to the originality of the car.

 

The bigger question is where did the owner of the car in picture option 1 get the 2002 Turbo seats?

[Simeon]

I would put the clock in the pod and either get a 4 gauge pod or drop the oil temperature.

I'd drop the clock, after all you'll probably have one on your stereo or cell phone and I cant find a oil temp app for my cell?

Drop the clock.  Adds no valuable information.

Wrist watches are more accurate.  You don't need to look at a clock while driving, especially if you're in a hurry. 

2 cents worth.

The ti/tii clocks are very useful in current times.  You can slip your smart phone underneath them on the dash.

the old saying..

 

a person with one clock knows what time it is.

a person with two (or more) is never sure....

When I have a non working clock, I always set it at 5:00 because that's drinking time!!!  That way I never forget to have one..

One of the very useful things I added to the pro3 race car

last season was an analog Autometer clock.

 

It has been very useful...  as I don't wear a watch on track.  And

the phone stays in the truck.
