Blimey, how much does a new clock cost ?
It seems like an awful lot of trouble putting one type of clock into the aperture meant for another when they're totally different shapes.
Would it not be easier to get the right shape clock from a scrapyard or the dealer.
In fact, I've got one sitting on my fridge - you sort out the postage from the UK and you can have it !
Regards
Shawn

I replaced my clock from a post 98 and put it in my 96. Works fine I just needed to solder in a new bulb. I think these clocks are almost identicle once you've detached them from the dash.

Incidentally, on the new shape Contours with clocks, are the characters light against a dark background, or dark against a light background ?
On the 1997-> Mondeos the clocks have dark characters against light backgrounds. Pre 1997 Mondeos are the opposite.
I only ask because I seem to recall someone mentioning on one of the 'indiglo' threads that the new Contour clocks were light against dark.
Regards
Shawn

They are light numbers against a dark backgroud. What is the clock you are sending me? Light on dark or Dark on light?
