Clock mounting

[zimtuff]

Any tips on getting the clock to stay in place? I have had it tight before but its a PITA and when my arm touches as I reach for the ignition key,it slowlys come loose.
Just seems like a stupid way to mount it unless Im missing something.

I can't say what you may be missing there Zim, but I have a clock mounted and it's no problem at all.
Possibly a bit of beer can shim under the mounting to tighten up the clamp a little.

...I have a clock mounted and it's no problem at all...

Same here...is the clamp on the handlebar loose or is it the screw that mounts the clock housing to the clamp? Agree with the shim if it's the clamp...maybe some loctite (thread sealer) on the screw if it's the housing. :?

Duct tape............

The handlebar clamp is ok.
Its the screw inside and trying to get it at the right angle and stay tight.Dont have a problem with the fuel gauge. Duck tape could be the solution
I got it as tight as I could yesterday ,but I bumped it and it went loose again.
Ill have another play with it tomorrow

Don't know how much time I've spent friggin' about with that screw! You mean the one that determines the angle of the instrument? Is the curved washer on the right way under the screw??? Easy to have it in there wrong way round.....
