I made this wall clock out of Type 3 parts. I am just sharing this to everyone.

Thanks

I was trying the bracket to fit well on the Type 3 pulley:

I may have added this Type 2 VW logo, nevertheless, it artistically serves its purpose:

It must be '64 and later, because it doesn't have red needles. Nice Work!

Thanks a lot, guys. I used an ordinary wall clock that can be bought at home depot and dismantled the same and get only those essential parts.

I did not use the stock clock of a Type 3...

Again, thanks a lot..

Wazup, Mike?

Much cooler than the clock I made for my brother out of a T3 hubcap.

Craft stores sell the clock parts kits, just so you know for next time. However, all of the ones I came across had ye olde tymee hands, so I can see why you pirated all of that stuff out of an existing clock.

Good work, inspiring to say the least!
