Assuming you mean the drivers side. The hole in the dash wood is approx 65mm dia. The metal retaining plate that holds the vent in place from the rear is approx 61mm dia.

so a 65mm diameter clock should fit nicely - won't be that many of them about...........

I was thinking that too!

Alistair there is some interesting info here http://www.stag.org.uk/forum/showthr...ighlight=clock about putting a clock (BMW 3 series or XJS) into the ashtray which looks nice.

I'd prefer a central clock too. The passengers might also like to see the time. My Stag had an oil pressure gauge fitted in my eye ball vent. I took it out and put it where the clock is and re-instated the vent. It looked odd having a gauge where the vent was.
