GQ clock

When you get the clock out of the dash, remove the cover. You will see a fairly large (compared to the other electronic components) blue capaciter. Resolder the joints between this and the PCB.

If you want to bend roll cage material this bender will not do it
If you want to bend nominal bore pipe they are a good bender albeit expensive
