Probably the biggest drawback is that the center knob
is lost completely. If I want to set the clock, I have
to insert something thin through the hole left by the
center knob (yes I removed it wich wasnt easy in
itself) and turn the pointers with it.
This is«nt excactly concours but it works for me.
Getting the clock off the dashboard is a Û%&( (if this
is what you mean by hands off), both when stock or modified.
