Installing a new clock.
« on: September 21, 2025, 21:58:04 »
Ordered a new clock from Authentic Classic because the old one is in ragged condition and deader than a door nail. Now comes my weird idea, these terminals will fit the bayonet on the clock and since they are 10 to 12 wire gauge terminals I might be able to insert the pins from the original clock plug. I really hate to butcher up my harness.

Best thing to do here is to call Authentic Classics for an explanation. 
You paid a hefty sum for a replacement clock for your Pagoda, and this is what they send you....
Call them to see, maybe they sent a clock without the adapter plug.

I do not remember how the clock end of the original harness looks like, but definitely you may fabricate a mini extension of it, a mini interface harness, to make it work. The connector pins to fit the harness plug are available.
