Scott Mefford replied to the topic Speedo Problems in the forum VW Based Kits 7 years, 6 months ago
I don’t know if this string is still alive or not, but thought I would give it a try as I also have a speedo problem. Pulled the wheel, removed cable from speedo and tested it and cable seems good. I think the trouble is in speedo. I have a “VDO” model speedometer. I removed the speedo from the dash, and removed the two nuts and the wash…[Read more]

Thanks for the references and the advice..
Being a 68, I just assumed they were drum brakes on all 4’s, but I guess I better pull a wheel and check first.. Then, I think

Thanks, another great parts resource. Now I’m trying to figure out if I order a 1/2 pan which apparently comes with the seat pedestals, if these pedestals need removed to install the “battery bucket” which sets under my seat.

My name is Scott. I have just purchased a MIGI Daytona replica assembled in 1984 on a 1968 VW frame and engine. The engine, transmission, and rest of drive train seem fine. The fiberglass body is in pretty good shape and the car is fully operational, but there are a few things that need attention and before I jumped into them I thought I wo…[Read more]
