What are all the knobs for?
So it may seem like a silly question, but as I've only just bought a resto car, I haven't yet got a manual for it. Am wondering if someone could
help me, what are all the dash knob's etc for on a 1963 Beetle. Is there a place I can get info from ?

Left hand knob is headlights - pull it out one notch for parkers, two for headlights and twist it is dash lights dimmer. Right hand knob is for the
windscreen wipers. At least that's how my '65 Bug is setup.

Not a silly question, VW had a total brain fart with early VWs by not labeling anything even the warning lights.
Little green light in the speedo comes on when it;s hot....surely green can't be bad 
Green is low oil pressure by the way, although most have turned yellow.

Where in Tassie are you? I have a handbook for your car that you can have.
