Not sure what type of speedos you are talking about...
You can fit an original VW KMH speedo..
as Beetles in most of Europe had KMH speedos.. I have a KMH speedo in My 68 Beetle...
Mine is from a 5/71 German beetle...
they are almost identical to the MPH speedos...
most have telltale lamps for foglamps and heated rear window but they are the same size...
. the 1976 Aussie beetle had a KMH Speedo I think...
Only problem is they are expensive...
You won't get one for under $120AUS... mostly $150++
Keep an eye on E-bay too. they are always popping up on there...
cheers

that sounds like something to do with the Fuel gauge unitthat has the 2 wires conected to a male plug coming out from the top back part

Yes
they do have two connections in a black plastic piece which is where the fuel gauge fits....

Two wires / red and blue / on the back of fuel gauge are for the red led indicating brake failure..Dak-Dak-68 wrote:Are there any wiring mod's that have to be done to a new KPH speedo (Plastic type) that has the 2 wires conected to a male plug coming out from the top back part of the speedo, to fit my old 68 Beetle, thanks to all
