^ Another option for those who want to upgrade to modern times... a speedo that is hassle free with a lifetime warranty. As shown above installed on one of my Type 2's.
GPS speedo custom made to my specs by SpeedHut.
Takes less than 1 hour to install if that and is super light. It keeps your maximum speed, your real time direction (North, South, etc), your 0-60 mph time, your 1/4 mile time (exapmple; come to a complete stop, set the button to 1/4 mile, as soon as your car moves the timer starts....it gives you your time at the end of your run).
$315 shipped.
This speedo has NOTHING to do with the transmission. It's all done by SATELLITE.
You can choose from a variety of colors, sizes, number styles, kmh or mph, lighting ect. All info on their website.
