Jon, et. al.,
I looked at the instructions late last night after a drive home from Boston
, and decided to re-read them today to clear out any confusion.  My 84 Westy
clock only shows the numbers, does not have "hands" to protect, and the
photos and directions are described as being for a 1994 not a 1984???
