Type 3 Speedo Overlay
boxofrabbits - January 4th, 2006 at 12:19 PM

Does anybody have a template to print off onto a transparency and place over the type 3s speedo?

I've seen them for sale on ebay, but refuse to pay for something as easy to make as that. If nobody has one I'll make one and make it available.

cheers for the offer, but I just designed one in illustrator. Ill do some testing to see if its accurate and post it up here for other people to print off onto transparencies.

heres one for 1964-1967 Beetles, i actually copied it off a very crude photo from a guy selling them on ebay, so don't tell :P

I cannot guarentee 100% acuracy and would appreciate if somebody could try it out and offer any suggestions on improvement. If people want I'll put the photoshop file up too so they can change it to match what they want.

Now to work on a type 3 one...

I wanted one of them but couldn't find them, so I just did the math. 25mph=40kph, 37mph=60kph, 50mph=80kph, and 62mph=100kph, there you go people have a nice day.
