soth122003 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Got a question about the actual clock guts/workings. Are they interchangeable? Would the clock innards from a dodge 46-48 work on a Plymouth of the same years? My clock has a cracked minute gear and hangs up. If the chrystler clock mechanisms for these years are interchangeable that could be a money saver for clock repairs. Any thoughts or facts would be appreciated.

DJ194950 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Are they the same brand name as per stamped into the rear side of the case? Maybe if so, but- maybe not- compare?? DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46Ply Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I would imagine that they most likely are interchangeable. Especially if the size and shape of the clock is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadkingcoupe Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) 1940's Glove box and Dashboard mounted Clocks were manufactured and provided to Chrysler from G.E.O Borg Company There has to be some overlap on the internal workings of the clock mechanism. Actually considering the cost of a P11 / P12 or P15 clock and the relatively low price of a 1940's Chrysler or DeSoto clock that's a great idea. To rebuild a non-functional "pricey" clock with the guts from another "lower" priced unit. Edited March 2, 2015 by Roadkingcoupe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1950 Special Deluxe Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Here is what I did. I got ahold of a non-functioning clock for my 1950, and replaced the guts with a small battery operated one. The battery lasted almost 2 years. No one has caught on yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
