My Tiger '66 1A came without a clock. Does anyone know of a modern day replacement clock out there with a chrome bezel that looks near OE? Thanks in advance for any help with this.
 
The other option is to get a S3/IV alpine or SV Alpine clock and throw modern internals in it.. the S3/IV one matches the MKI gauges.. the SV one matches the MKII gauges.... you can also use a SI/II clock and just paint the hands red
 
Wish list

Maybe this should've posted in the parts wanted or Santa I been a good boy list. The CAT club is a reasonable facsimile. Some of our best members when they need mad money throw em on Ebay, seems parts reach their peak prices in early spring as many get ready for car show season. Probably the second most sought after part next to the other un obtainium air cleaner. Most every Tiger guy with the Rootes dash plug wants a optional OG clock even if it is right 2X per day, myself included .

The S3/IV clocks are indentical in appearence bar the very small parts numbers, same goes for the SII clock if you paint the hands.. unless you have a concourse "factory correct car".. hunting the "correct" tiger numbered and earthed clock is throwing money you dont need to.

I would just get an alpine clock and remove the guts and replace with modern internals.. .. or just buy the CAT one..

I have done the former.... just my .02c
 
new (60mm) one for an E Type Jag at $150

Thanks for the info....I have been told by a guage rebuilder that the 3 & 9 on the Tiger Clock are Vertical, not horizontal, and the hands on the Tiger clock should be orange. The C.A.T. version for sale doesn't have the 3 & 9 vertical for $300. Nisonger Instruments has a new (60mm) quartz for an E Type Jag at $150. It has a black Bezel though, instead of a chrome one to match my guages. I'm not intent on having the correct clock but would like it to be similar to my other guages, and keep good time.
 
This has the adjusters at the top as per SI Alpine, the SII onwards and Tigers have them at the bottom, but paint the hands red/ornage and it will lok right enough.. or wait for one with adjusters at the bottom:

As a side note the late MKIA and MKI's have the 3 and 9 vertical and all numbers in a smaller font;
 
Another clock

O.k., I know this one isn't correct, but it does match my gauges (including the amp meter) for a complete Jaeger instrument dash. Anybody got a clue where this clock came from?

I have seen similar clocks on late model arrow range cars as in fastback rapiers and alpines.
 
Think so

I think the Tiger Tamer clock looks exactly as Nisonger described for a Tiger clock.

Very close, but from a concours perspective, the font and bezel are off. Have a look at the link VaCat33 posted earlier for the exact details (CE 3131/01). Curious how the clock Rootes selected has a different bezel from all the other gauges.

Wow! thanks I somehow missed that reply. It's great info.
 
clock

michael,
the five fastbacks i have had did not have round clocks in them. they are a square clock that sets in the console just in front of the gear shift, not in the dash. the clock is quite reliable and actually keeps good time.
