Mick Motors sell a brand new km/hr speedo that will fit your bug

I want to swap my 59 km/h speedo for a mid sixties one, can anyone help?

You used to be able to buy for speedometers a stick on kph conversion, that fitted over the existing mph speedometer face.

sometimes you do see the inserts that fit between the face and the dial on ebay for sale.

I took mine apart and put whiteout lines on my speedo dial at 10kmh intervals

ring micks motors theirs are 180bucks and bolted into my 68 in bout 10mins

go on to ebay and search worldwide
dont type speedo use the word tacho
you will find a lot of genuine kmph speedos for a good pricefailing that buy a fine tip perminant marker and go to town
good luck

No doubt you have seen this one: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/VW-Volkswagen-Beetle-Bug-Speedo-140-km-h-Fuel-gauge-VDO_W0QQitemZ190336878003QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Car_Parts_Accessories?hash=item2c50f645b3&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14



As far as price goes, this would be the upper limit: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=713417
(ignore MPH markings, looks like he attached the wrong image)

I have many different year speedos for beetles in KM's
Send me a PM and i'll check what I have.

HI adam

I have bought a few KMH speedos on ebay..Aust
they are usually around $120-$150+

I have seen them go for much much more at times...
You can fit any speedo with fuel gauge from 1968> to 1976
beetles excepting the 1303S Super beetle speedo which was different.

cheers

I Can make white face KMH speedos for L bugs and standards. I can also concert MPH speedos to KMH.
