Clock time today as I was fed up of kettlefettling.
Stripped the clocks and found a matching pair of dials - not!

Darn!
Let's find spares box 1.

What's in 'ere?

We'll try a bit of pick'n'mix. I think there's a speedo that might match the rev counter.....

Or not. Wrong bloody colour dial. What else is hiding in here? Maybe try t'other spares box.

Hmmm. Now how about somewhere else?

Can you spot the anomaly? With a bit of luck it'll annoy the rivet counters anyway!
And it's not the ignition switch missing. That's in bits ready for remantling.
