Kombi trip meter speedo fitted YAY
I got a trip meter speedo for Fleur for her birthday. I hadn't picked it up for three weeks from the post office, so it is a bit late but anyway she
loves it.
I set it back to zero ready for the new motor to go in, and the fuel guage even works properly now.

The housing is German, so LHD. So I took the opportunity to clean all of the glasses and fit the tacho, while it is all apart.

The instruments on the trip speedo are satin black. The blank plate on the original dash RHS was sort of dark grey metallic. I cut the hole for the
tacho and painted it satin black.

This is what it looks like fitted in the hole of the blanking plate. It is an old Speco tacho from the early 80's.

The only thing different inside the cluster was the original one had green bulb covers for the dash lights. I pulled then off and had to glue them
inside the German/trip one.
