Can someone help. Nearing the completion of my 1975 1275 GT restoration and can't seem to mount the triple dial binnacle. Could I have the wrong size. The main bracket fits the holes and angle of the car (as is offset) perfectly, but wondered if there are other parts to get the triple plastic cowling to fit to the main bracket. Pictures anyone??

Hi there, from your description you're at this stage? 

 

 

and want this to fit? 

 

 

If so I know exactly what you need. I'll get pictures in the morning.

Hi there, thank you for this. It seems that the bracket doesn't seem to fit the cowl. I'll try and take a photo.

No problem, I've just gone and taken a load of photos of the mounting points, so if you let me know where you're having a problem I'll get the relevant pictures.

Seeing these mounting points would be great. Thank you

So once you've got your clocks mounted on the metal bracket with the 4 bolts like so, 2 each side. (there's another 2 to secure the top bracket to the clocks.

 

Here's the left hand side. 

 

 

There are 6 clips that locate the binnacle.

 

 

Here's a close up of the clips. They are screwed in on the back of the clocks. 

 

 

 

I hope this helps.
