    One thing that my 2002 MCS had that my 2006 does not is the overhead clock. The speedometer clock is small and hard to read. I found a couple of overhead clocks from a 2003 on eBay. Can this be installed on a 2006? There must be power up there, probably would have to figure out how to mount. Anyone have any experience doing this?

    91 veiws, no replies tells me this is not a popular mod! It's probably easier to just put my glasses on if I want to see what time it is....

    Never have seen it done. But since you are so close to Keith at Werkin MINI I'd give him a shout and see if he knows.

    I will. Already gave him a shout to start doing some other things under the hood.

    I haven't done this but years (close to 8) ago I bought a set off ebay with a Chrysler 300M clock to convert it to analog. I never got around to it, I figured the wiring would be a pain and ended up deciding a boost gauge or autometer clock would look better. So that's an option.

    I still have the parts if you need them.

    I'm retired so a clock has little relevance to me these days. :)
