anybody tried to repair his clock? I have three non working clocks in my E bodies, they look perfect and maybe work for 20 or so seconds. but that's all. Is there a good way to disassemble ans repair them? Thank you
One of the gauge rebuilders sell a kit to rebuild the clocks , I have done a couple of them .
Trying to remember the company 3 letter name
Don't repair them, generally replace the guts with new.
I believe R-3035 is the kit number?
Here is an earlier post with some good information, including a link to a pdf with detailed rebuild instructions for upgrading your clock with a new quartz movement.

Here's the kit you're after https://www.amazon.ca/Quartz-Conversion-Clock-Repair-R-3035/dp/B005GAEAFU
I used the r3035 kit. Take your time and follow the instructions, not to bad of a workbench job. Be careful with the "hands", and re- doing the rivets without marring the face tricky but doable.
I've bought a few of those R-3035 Quartz Conversion Kits for rallye dash clocks directly from the supplier.

Here's an article on rebuilding electric clocks.

Many times the points need to be cleaned and the mechanism oiled.
The MFR of the quartz conversion also does electric repairs.
Depends on what you want, the original style ticking or a continuous sweep from quartz.
