Harbor Freight Big Red Brake Wall Clock (after some small mods)
Harbor Freight has sold these brake caliper wall clocks for several years now. I was just in the store and they were on clearance for $6.50 which is 1/10 the cost of the same type of clock by Auto Art.
The caliper comes off in two pieces with 6 philips head screws. I shot the caliper in fire engine red & applied a disc brake sticker after it dried and now it's a one-of-a-kind Porsche Big Red caliper clock (close to actual size of an actual disc & caliper)
The HF stock number is/was 96768.

I've bought up all the remaining stock at Harbor Freight and have invested in a couple cans of red spray paint and a stack of stickers.
Selling them on eBay for $49.99 Buy it Now!
Profit!

Very enterprising of you, Mr. V.
They're still 'one-offs' IMO. Plus you can now say "Assembled in USA".

You are all good until the PORSCHE legal department gets a hold of you.......seems they have a thing about their name and their crest If something has more value because it has the name on it they want that profit plus damages....
