I just can't believe you'd do this terrible thing to your own ashtray - too much sangria? Couldn't you just wear a watch?Comment

I haven't had a chance to fit your back plates yet coz I am up to my bullocks getting my hovel ready for sale, But you should do a mag write up in the Tec section. The fact is that spending 70 odd quid buying new adjusters will never improve the hand brake. What really irritates me is people who really do know what they are talking about and come up with an improvement/modification that is notable get ignored, I did this with the wheel nuts we modified ( thank you by the way) and they have solved the problem. But people will happily go out and spend loads of money on all manners of c**p.

It's not a clock but a digital Temp GaugeOriginally posted by Staggard View PostWhere are the ash tray preservation society when you need them
This new DTM device will look after your engine, and can issue an alarm if the engine gets dangerously hot. This could save you the major expense of an engine failure.
The Stag has an engine that is strong and reliable, and when set up properly will run fine. But if something goes wrong causing overheating, and this is allowed to exceed a safe limit, this can be an expensive mistake as many owners have found out the hard way. In the past, you could spend all your time worrying and constantly watching the temperature gauge but now there is no need. Once you have fitted and set up the DTM, you can relax and enjoy driving your stag without worrying about an undetected overheat.
Simply fit in place of the ashtray with two screws, and plug into the 12 volt power supply. The remote thermal sensor is attached to a 2 meter extension lead allowing it to be fitted to a suitable point on the engine. All the parts needed are supplied in kit form, including fitting and user instructions.
Features of the DTM:
•Easy to fit and set up in minutes.
•Set your own alarm points
•Constantly monitors the engine temperature
•Automatically sounds the alarm
•3-digit digital LED display
•Fits in place of ashtray
•More accurate than conventional gauges
•Up to 125 deg C set point
•All parts included
•No permanent modifications requiredComment

Oh dear, another money grabbing device to feed the paranoia that Stags overheat. I think most of us are beyond that now.
We all have temperature gauges, mine reaches a certain point on the scale and stays there, I don't worry about it.
A pointless waste of an ashtray IMHO.Comment

If you were worried about the accuracy of your temp gauge, why not put the £40 this thing costs towards an accurate capillary Smiths gauge rather than some Chinese made module? Can't see the point of this at all - at least a clock would have had a use as the standard clock is temperamental and people bin it in favour of an oil pressure gauge.Comment

So the right eye on the normal temp gauge and the left eye on the digital temp gauge, bit dangerous.
How does it look after your engine I wonder, does it cut out the engine at a certain high temperature whilst driving along?
I also thought that was what the header tank did, could always fit a second header tank.
Damn, mentioned it again.I only do what the voices in my wife’s head tell me to do!Comment

No good to me as a useful Mod, I have earmarked the ash tray space to fit my Flux Capacitor once I get the destination time input device to work properly.
Anyone know how I can get back from 1952 please
