As far as I know, no one had figured out a way to remove the clock hands gracefully. I can't even tell you how they are fastened in place; I've never managed to get one off and I've tried REALLY hard. You're probably best off finding a good 12V clock. They are easy to find, I have lots of them, but keep in mind that there are at least 3 different versions of 12V type 3 clocks, not counting type 34 clocks. You want the early version: grey face, short retaining springs. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
