Current speedo in my '75 L-Bug is kaput (odometer not ticking over, fuel gauge inoperative) and to save cracking it open I thought i just check here to see if anyone has a good, working spare lying around they wish to sell me.
Look im after one to and looks like nobody has one but if you find someone whos got more than 1 let me know

looks like these things are scarce - i was hoping Joel (being a BIG fan of the L-Bug) had a few hundred lying around 😂
I will let you know 👍

Hi
I have one, it was in my sons car, it was rebuilt after the odometer died. I also had the face changed very slightly, every 10kph mark was lengthened to make it easier to see with a smaller steering wheel.

i actually did have a few around till recently
one of the last spares i had got the indiglo face treatment and is now in my bug and the original is safely tucked away
but whats really biteing me is i had the one out of my convertable and it was the correct 75 model with the right needle for your bug in mint condition and i sent it to an ex forum member who never even paid for it 🥲
only other one i have left is from sonic so its in MPH so its probably not of interest

Hi
It looks these speedos maybe getting hard to find.
This is what I did on my sons bug so that he could see the speedo easier, hes 6' 7'.
The advantages are, trip meter, 0-100 & 1/4 mile timing inbuilt and its settable for any size tyre.

Steve,
If Dylan buys it, I can pick it up from you at the Nationals and take it back to Port Macquarie for him.

Hi Jeff
OK, thats a good plan, I just want to give jedidan a chance to contact me.

Thats cool. I just thought I would speak up in case jedidan fell through & Dylan bought it and paid postage.
