1968> on speedo [Australian sold beetles] had the fuel gauge inside the speedo...
Imported speedos from standard model beetles [not deluxe]
are in KMH and no fuel gauge....
I bought one a few years ago... forgot about the fuel gauge..
was out of a 1968 German standard beetle
My Son has it in His 1955 Beetle...

Lee ,
I Custom Build Speedos , i will be posting some pictures Shortly of some of the Stuff i have done. I have found a 60's Style speedo with Fuel Gauge , i have Fully rebuilt this and Reset to 00000 Miles but i broke the 30 year old brittle needle , im thinking i need to get repros made up. i need the speedo for the needle so speedo dosent matter to much.

My Son Scott has heaps of them...
lots of carbon fibre ones... lol
maybe a chromed one would be good... lol
have some chromed vinyl... lol
I also broke off a needle.... so, I don't touch the needles now
You really need a broken speedo with a needle...lol
as a speedo with no needle isn't much good...lol
lol

PS: the later needles are metal I think... the white needles.?

Trick to getting them off without breaking them is to use a fork
DylanTheDubber ·
Joel , Yeah thanks for your advice its very good cause thanks to you i use a fork and dont break them that way now. i had 2 sitting up ontop of a box and i got the box down without thinking they were up there they fell on the ground and when i found them they were Broked = (

Thanks People for offers of the speedos , What they say "one mans trash is anothers tresure" and i try make use out of broken or old vw parts instead of throwing them away. I wont even scrap a vw i just cant do it cause you can always do something else with it untill its gone.
So any unwanted old speedos , i would love em.
