Hi
Does anyone have a speedo in KPH to suit a 1971 Superbug hanging around in their shed they want to sell.
Am happy to swap my old MPH speedo for it once I get it out and replaced.
Needs to have the fuel tank part in the speedo. All working of course.
Either that or an inlay I can put inside of this one, they are selling them on ebay for $60ish, just for an inlay. Don't think so! Its jut a piece of paper.
Dont want one of those stick on labels, want the real thing.
If you have one let me know your price. Thanks

The Km/h speedos don't go cheap, normally $100+ depending on which model it is.
The faces on ebay are made from plastic with opaque numbers like modern cars thats why the price tag.
I have one in my bug, they won't be any use to you as they're for 160km/h speedos, the 90mph would read way off and also putting a KM/h face in a MPH speedo means your odometer is useless as it still turns in miles not KMs.

I just bit the bullet and bought a new km/h speedo and new cable + fuel sender from Mick's Motors in QLD. Works like a dream!!

KMH speedos used to be $200 years ago but now many people have bought them in from Europe.
They can still cost $140+
You need a KMH from 1968 to 1976 NON 1303 Super Beetles...
the late ones will be black faced the earlier ones look like the early model speedos...

Lee, is there a build date on that speedo of yours? or is it one of the universal replacements?
Semi-autos after 73 were only availble as LBugs so its unusual to see a flat screen 160km/h speedo for a semi-auto.
Hardwork, are you wanting to be period correct?
the proper 69-71 140KM/H speedos are pretty rare to come across in aus.
The later 73 onwards 160km/h ones like Lee's are easier to get as they were standard on 73 onwards 1300 aussie bugs

HI Joel
No not worried about it being period correct, just want a speedo that will do km/h. So the one pictured above (Lee's) will that fit my 71 super even though its at 73 model speedo?

Yeh, all flat dash speedos have the same mounts, it's only Lbugs that are different.
