Thanks! Hopefully I can find a source in the US, but if not, this will work.

While searching for my VDO Kienze dashboard out of my 2.0 1968 to make it a desk clock (project with a 3.0 cylinder and a 3D printer), I found that thread.
My clock does not work...but the low temp fuse is in place and tested ok. 12V is all around the clock.
The clock works with manual intervention but stops as the 2 points using the electromagnetic are not in contact (see picture)
Any experience on how to fix that, making the 2 points making contact together at the end of the cycle to fold back again and again ?
Cheers

The “fixed” side of the points is not fixed, but attached to a copper piece that can crack. A replacement part would have to come from a donor clock.
Low temperature solder can come from Solder Seal Butt Connectors that are available on Amazon
Thank you very much.

Did it, it is now perfectly running : I bended the upper point arm a bit.
Worked it out with my 3D printer to make it fit and running through a 911 3.0 Cylinder as a desktop clock.
Have 5 left :-)

So cool pic, need to make some space around my clock though.

I posted my clock repair experience here if you wish to read: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...ck-repair.html
As an earlier poster noted I used the low temp solder from some inexpensive butt connectors. Worked perfectly. A year or so later the clock is working perfectly. The adjustment screw on the back is VERY sensitive but you can use it to get the clock very accurate. The key to the repair is extremely delicate and careful cleaning, knowing exactly where to lube and where not to, and careful fuse repair. As an added protection it’s best to add an inline 1/4 amp fuse on your hot wire.
