Default 1957 clock

does anyone know if there is an aftermarket clock to fit a 1957 corvette. You can buy the bezel, lens, **** and clock face but no repro clock. I was hoping a clock from another car may fit and I could adapt the new parts to it.
Thanks,

Moleyman, Just want to check first, Do you have the original clock? If so consider getting it restored. There are a few guys I could send you to that will help you out. Parts can be added if need be and other can be salvaged with elbow grease. If not, places like Chicago corvette and Corvette Specialty have original restored parts, repro, assemblies, bezels etc. The best thing to do is just call around and price parts it will be expensive. I believe a repro bezel alone will run you close to $60.

Default Replacement clock

Here are some pictures if a clock I have for my 57 Corvette Gasser project. It is a typical 2 1/8" gauge that fits the dash perfectly.
I don't know if they are available as it is dated 1984 but many aftermarket gauges are available.
