Hi Everyone
Just finally finished the refurb on the original clocks for my K2 and thought I'd share a tip that might help. Looked at CB750faces site youtube link and was searching my local B&Q for a suitable pipe to surround clock shells and came across a '110mm ground pipe socket' that the clock surround fits nicely in.  (About a fiver). Lined it in self adhesive thin rubber tape to protect the new paint and cut slots in to allow the clamp to squeeze on the clock surround.  It then can be used with the recommended method to lever the crimp ring and when clamped to the bench also pushes the clock back to the painted surround. Additionally to the recommended cb750faces method, you can use a flat punch (I used a 6mm round bar) to gently flatten the crimp ring as the front of the crimp ring sits nicely on the 'jig'
It worked a treat for me and so thought I'd share the tip - see pictures

Nice one phil that's a really simple but effective setup. Thanks for sharing. Did the foam tape come from b&q as well?
