Clocks (what are they from)

Hi All
Can anyone advise me on what these clocks have come out of, I want to use them but need to find out what the wiring willbe and what senders will be required. There is a part number on the back is there any way of finding out via that.
Many Thanks Steve

Possiby ford capri? Dont they have any makers marks on?

Cheers,
David

They say Ford (sorry that part i Should of mentioned) the part Number is C9AH 17360 B. Just been looking at a website that gives you some idea of the part numbers and it says "C" = 1960's and the 9 is the year so they are from a 1969 car, does that help

Capri for sure

A very big Ford Capri...

I assume its an electronic rev counter. In which case its important to know if it was a 6 or 4 cylinder car. I not worth messing around with if your engine is a different number of cylinders. Also you may find it more difficult to get the speedo calibrated than the 'Smiths' type of instruments.
Pretty impressive though, it reading 110mph already! - Alan

Would go with capri,

looks v similar to the ones that were in my F27 before i ripped them out and replaces with stand alone guages.

Definately a MK1 Escort.

Mk1 Escort or Mk2 Cortina definately not Capri as the smaller gauges were 2 each on either side of the speedo,tacho they were on my Capri any road.Size of the panel looks like Mk2 cortina 1600 GT or 1600E.

Bob

They are mk 1 escort GT, RS 2000 or E

Look like mk1 Escort to me too (GT/Mexico/sport) etc.

Capri clocks had two of the smaller dials positioned either side of the speedo and rev counter.

Mk2 COrtina had small dials four in a row either in the middle of the dash (1600E) or in a bulge on top of the dash (1600GT).
Upmarket Mk1 Escort for sure.

Nothing like any MK2 Cortina --- it had proper standard size Smiths Instuments.

Only other possible suspect outside of Escort and Capri land is a Mk1 Consul Granada 2000.
Personal taste I think they are a pretty nasty ugly set of dials even when they were on a Ford.

Your darn right David,they were more spread out on the Mk2.
Must be Escort then,reason Im so sure they're not Capri is Ive still got the old dashboard sitting on the bench in the workshop at work that I took my clocks out of.
