Awesome work dude, I'd love to pick one of those up in the Euro surround someday

**newb23** · 03-24-2006, 02:47 PM

Wow nice work. For some reason I just like that little clock...

**hkysk8r07** · 03-24-2006, 06:51 PM

nice work

**Kelric** · 03-25-2006, 11:27 AM

So do they sell an NA spec version, or does it only come in metric time?

(sorry, had to ask

)

**focusonfocus** · 03-25-2006, 03:19 PM

NA spec version of..??clock or radio surround that is LHD version??
If clock, is it 24 hrs version, no am/pm, it will show 13 instead of 1pm.

if radio surround, have to get it from germany because they are LHD.

**o2_designs** · 03-26-2006, 12:17 AM

Ok, my SVTC has one of the little clocks in there. If you were going to mod your bezel, you could just mod it to fit the Contour clock, could you not?

Yup, even a picture I just uploaded for this...

I've only ever seen teh SVT version, but I'm would assume that the little clock also came in all the late 90's Contour's and Mystique's. Prop a pretty cheap item from a Salvage yard.

**2focusd** · 03-26-2006, 12:31 AM

I'm liking your idea dude, I just recently picked up a Contour dome light for a possible fab-job in the Focus, because I like the swively map lights

-Brian

**focusonfocus** · 03-26-2006, 12:38 AM

everything is possible..i once thought fab contour clock into focus.

**o2_designs** · 03-26-2006, 06:26 PM

LOL, those swively lights are annoying...LOL On mine, I think if you point it somewhere, less light is emmited in that direction...LOL

point it??what is "it" you are reffering to??
if you are talkign about the led behind lcd..then no..you cannot point to other direction..
it is plcc2 smd led.

**2focusd** · 03-26-2006, 08:32 PM

No no we're talking about the Contour dome light/map light setup

It has little swively map lights that I wanna retrofit into my ZX3

-Brian

**focusonfocus** · 03-26-2006, 08:57 PM

oh my bad.

**2focusd** · 03-26-2006, 10:02 PM

It's all good, so you never tried modding in a Contour clock?

-Brian

**focusonfocus** · 03-27-2006, 01:07 AM

no i haven't, i almost got the contour clock but i got good deal on euro focus clock.

**o2_designs** · 03-27-2006, 05:20 PM

huh, sorry about that focusonfocus...LOL

**CheckMyVitals** · 03-31-2006, 03:23 AM

much easier to go with the euro focus... beings as you get taht piece to mould in... and the hours and minutes buttons are compact around the screen... as they should be

you'd have to relocate those buttons... and fab up your own surround to get this to work

**o2_designs** · 03-31-2006, 08:54 PM

Yeah, but you would be the only one with it, and then you would be like the coolest one around! LOL
Then someone could say, I have the only Contour clock fitted Focus in the country!

**CheckMyVitals** · 03-31-2006, 10:14 PM

...then they blankly stare at you for a little while... feel the convo go awkward, and quickly try and find another subject...

**2focusd** · 04-01-2006, 12:57 AM

Hey if someone wants to donate me a crappy radio bezel I'll be more than happy to try this

Or actually a spare Focus dome light surround, that's what I really need at the moment

-Brian

**screwdiver** · 04-01-2006, 04:47 AM

It's a lot easier just to buy the euro bezzel...it fits perfectly, you just have to remove the plastic from the security LED on the hazard switch to make it all fit in correctly.

Hit the hour and minute button together to change from 24 hour to 12 hour mode.

**2focusd** · 04-01-2006, 11:10 PM

But that sort of things costs more money, and I don't have any of that
