I’m reposting this in the hope of shedding more light on the current discussion: 😕
“<i>I came across a few bits of information which may help members evaluate LED replacement lamps.

Reading back through page 1 of this tread reminded me of my 69 Opel GT. That is a car I never should have sold.

Reviving this thread as I just installed these LED tail lights to replace the incandescent ones this evening. Still need to get some rubber grommets to cover up the holes.

Stephen Houser started the topic Daytona MiGi Assembly Manual in the forum VW Based Kits 8 years ago
Looking through the club library, we don’t have the assembly manual for the Daytona MiGi. We have only an “information packet.”
Does anyone have something for this kit more than we already have?
If you do, and you are willing to share, send it to me and I’ll get it posted in the Library.
If you only have an original but not an electronic…[Read more]

Ringo’s dash was my inspiration, and that real TD dash on the ‘bay looks very usable as-is. I’d try to grab that for $100-$200 if I were you. My un-patented “bead cheat” will finish it off for like $20 more.
The 924 gauges are just about 4.25 in diameter, I think–a little smaller than the TD gauges, so if you went with that dash you’d have to…[Read more]

@edsnova Yes, I meant to link to your site and thread about your dashboard. It is a work of art. Being a long-time woodworker myself, I appreciate how tricky it is to get the pattern you made. I really liked the burl dashboards (Another Pricy…, and Dash project finished).
I’m unlikely to move the parking brake lever anytime soon. I have a bench…[Read more]

Correction… my speedo and tach are from a 924

Also, they are about 5″ so a lot easier to see with these old eyes and “fill” the dash better too!

I have purchased Porsche 914 speedo and tach for mine. The porsche speedo runs off the left front wheel like a VW does. Thay come with a cone type plastic “glass” in them so I carefully pryed them open and put flat plastic in them. I have not installed them yet but it looks pretty staight-forward. they have high beam and turn signal indicators in them
