How Do I Fit Axminster Clock Inserts

Purchased here:

Came with no instructions whatsoever and there does't seem to be any fixing mechanisms. Is it just a friction fit? Then how do I make sure it'll always be tight even when the wood shrinks?

the springy legs on the back piece are what holds it in place ( the bit partly out of the pic ) had one just like that in my motorcarravan

You need to either leave the back open to change the battery or make the movement removable in a blind hole.

My suggestion would be to follow your local posty around and pick up some of the rubber bands he drops. If you put a couple of these around the movement then they will provide a better friction fit and take up some of the movement.

I thought that bit was only a cover #-o...
Is the wood to fit between the ends of those legs and the back of the bezel? Because then the wood has to be about 3 mm thin...

The fitting is designed to friction (spring) fit in a blind hole, or at least a hole with 15-20mm depth.
The movement is removed from the front to change time or replace battery

It is a cover and also the legs hold the clock in place just by pressure on the side wall of the hole try it on a scrap bit of timber.
No lip is required just the hole the right size as said on the axy site
