does anyone know if needle type clocks can be altered to suit cars, its a zx9r clock set.

You mean the speedo?? You well need a speedo healer to correct for the gearing and wheel size.
Alternatively you could have a good look at my KOSO RX1N clocks (not to buy - they are available on ebay) when you collect the engine.

Looks like they are off a B model and it has a mechanical speedo?

If it is mechanical, then it's not impossible, but the elctronic ones are better, as you can re-calibrate with a device called a 'speedo
healer'.
If it's mechanical you have 2 options:
1) make up a motor and drive to power the speedo (I think some people have done this?)
2) Use a mechanical drice, but again you'd need to get the ratios right for the speedo to read correctly. (I think some people have done this,
see hellfires first build on his website using the fireblade clocks driven off the propshaft?)
I hope this helps.

Can you use any type of clock, ie, R1, GSXR,ZXR, or do i have to stick to zxr9 c type.
