2-1/16" Dash Clock (or any 2-1/16" gauge for that matter) 2WD Models

[Punisher]

Just installed a dash clock in the cab of my truck in place of that useless space-taker coin holder. What helmet-wearing design engineer came up with that useless crap of plastic?

Anyway... pretty simple install. Used an abrasive cylinder on the dremel to trim away the plastic to make room for the clock/gauge. I ended up with about a 1/16" lip. Trim slowly... test fit... trim more... test fit. It's alot easier to remove a little more to make room than it is to add some back in because it's too loose.

I purchased an AutoMeter Analog clock which comes with color caps for the illumination bulb to match your interior lighting. Only took about 30mins start to finish. That included tapping in to the wiring harness of the radio, solder connections and heat shrink. (aftermarket radio with amps for doors and sub... power to radio is hardly a drain since it's not 'driving' any speakers)

I realize that those of you with 4x4 switches won't be able to make use of this space since you already have something useful located there. This is for those of us with 2WD and have the annoying change holder.
