Speedo cable

Post by Webster »

Good day all.
Does anyone know where I could get a speedo cable in the Cape Town area for a 1964 Karmann Ghia - and would it be the same as the one for a Beetle I wonder.
Also - long shot - anyone got a spare passenger side rear view mirror?

Doubt they will be the same the lengths might differ.
If they dont have try Berg motors or Grandslam.
