Title: Speedo question
Post by: Nicki on December 20, 2023, 05:00:23 PM
Could somebody let me know if a 1972 VW beetle VDO MPH speedo will fit a 1967 (cables, fuel gauge etc)
Thanks 👍

Yes, the speedo will work fine but you'll need an electric tank sender unit from a 68 on car. The tank will need earthing for it to work. The cable is driven from the nearside front hub, if you find the cable is too long try a left hand drive one.

Just a quick point to anyone reading the thread....  Any metal fuel tank on any vehicle should have a good earth to chassis / body / both....  ;)

50 years ago so they may have had a buggy then. Looks like they already had a key board and pair of igloos.
