Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari Digest, Vol 110, Issue 50

The panel that the clock is mounted on has a couple of screws to remove. 

Once you've done that the rest is obvious.

You can change the lens yourself. Use a couple of very small screw drivers(I 

found it helpful to bend the tip of 1 at a 90deg. angle.) Start working from 

the underside of the bezel, gently prying it off without bending, moving in 

small increments. Reinstalling it is a snap.

Good Luck

Thank you. I'll give it a try next weekend. But by "Best to leave it to a 

professional" , you mean bringing the whole clock to him. Then how do I 

get the clock out.

 It's foggy because it's made out of plastic, unlike the other gauges 

which use glass. It's plastic because of the hole needed for the winding 

stem at the bottom.

 To replace the lens, you need to CAREFULLY remove the chrome trim ring 

which retains the bezel to the gauge body, by GENTLY prying the lower 

edge, all around. It's very easy to scratch and permanently deform the 

trim ring if you're not careful. Best to leave it to a professional.

 1981 308 GTSi: My clock works perfectly. But the glass cover is very 

foggy. I find that it's getting worst every year.

 Is that easily cleanable ? Removeable ?

 How do you get it off the clock ? I didn't try anything, I thought I 

would ask the list first. All my other gauges have perfectly clear glass.

You get the clock out by removing the aluminum panel that holds the rest 

of the gauges (speed, tach, oil, fuel, etc), which is held onto the 

dashboard. Behind that aluminum panel, the gauge is held in place by a 

U-shaped bracket. On my GT4, the aluminum panel has screws on the front 

face and it's easy enough to remove, but with your GTS, I believe you need 

to remove the binnacle first and that needs to be done from below. 

Hopefully those with GTB/GTS cars can explain this better...

Actually, in the 1981 GTSi, the clock is just in front of the stick shift 

with the oil  temp gauge.
