You can try and use a Dremel to cut the hole for the clock. I added a clock, so I picked up a gauge cluster that already had the clock. So I used that gauge housing and clock, and swapped my other gauges over to it. You’ll also either need to get a black backer, because it has the hole for the clock. And also a new lens. It will have the hole for the clock stem. I choose to get a new backer and lens, and then I cleaned up all my gauges. It really turned out nice. The new lens was nice and clear.
