Looking for a replacement clock for my D1 - I am interested in swapping a classic RR analog clock into that space. Anyone have one?

Theres a guy who posts a lot of articles over on the general board. He likes cocks and maybe he would show you his. He's told all of us about it.
Am I on the right track here - does the clock you have look like what's in the picture? Is it the whole assembly with the switch? I assume the plug in the back is probably different. I'm not really sure what the guy had to do to get it to work.
I did the swap a few years ago. You need a clock/hazard light combo from a 95 RRC since it's the only one that fits a Disco. The wiring is straightforward but slightly different. I think you connect one less wire. Its on the web somewhere, but it’s easy and worth it.
OK -thanks for that - so 95 year only? Wow - kind of a needle in a haystack but I will keep my eyes open!
Yes, as I understood it at the time, 95 was the only year the RRC dashes were similar enough for it to work. They’re out there, so it's worth the hunt.
@Frobisher is spot on about the 1995 RRC compatibility. I did this swap in my D1 a couple years ago, I prefer the analog feel. I bought mine on ebay, found the wiring diagram somewhere online. Pretty easy substitution. Probably worth starting the search with the usual suspects - Will Tillery, Roverland Parts, Paul Grant, PT Schram, etc.
