FIXED!
The Customizer REALLY didn't like the line of numbers as strings, and stripped them out, and the numbers didn't appear on the dial!
I've done a work around, and added Roman Numerals!

My sundial only works in the Northern hemisphere. I don't think sundials caught on in the Southern hemisphere because the "clock" runs backwards, anti-clockwise!
To get an accurate time the sundials numbers need to have their angles adjusted, and the spike sticking out needs to be tilted all depending on where you are in the North.
doctek's written some great instructions for setting up your sundial over there.
I found typing into google "[location] latitude"..... for instance "paris latitude", and google displays at the top - "Paris
