I have three 60 mm diameter, Dolomite 1850 & Dolomite 1500 HL clocks.

The electrically wound, clockwork ones have a grey plastic ring that slides over three spring clips on the case to locate.
One 60 mm clock, with a grey plastic ring (becomes brittle with age) that slides over three spring clips on the case to locate it, originates from an early-model Triumph Dolomite 1850, of the vintage which had a large, non-illuminating rocker switch for the hazard-warning lights, two direction-indicator tell-tale lights in the 8-segment warning-light cluster, and a heated rear-window switch with integral tell-tale light. The clock’s black face is marked
“KIENZLE” and
“W•GERMANY”. This clock, whose style I prefer, which closely matches the original factory-fitted instrumentation associated with my N-registration, 1974 Triumph Toledo 1300 “HL Special”, was retro-fitted to my car in 1984, along with the Dolomite 1850 dashboard which came with it.

I haven't got one of the Kienzle quartz ones yet, but from what I've read and been told, the quartz ones have a U shaped bracket with a single central nut, very like the way the 2" meters in the main dash mount.
The other two 60 mm clocks, with single screw-stud & nut retained U-clamp to locate them, originate from late-model Triumph Dolomite 1500 HL cars, of the type which had dual-circuit brakes. The black faces of both clocks are marked
“QUARTZ” and the face of one clock is also marked
“W•GERMANY”. Both clocks have a white hour-hand, white minute-hand and a yellow second-hand. Neither of these clocks, have any markings identifying the manufacturer. If anyone is interested, I would be willing to part with at least one of these.
