Can anyone identify this speedometer and clock?Was fitted to an orange Karmann Ghia..

Took these pics at the Radel Rennsport meet...

Was in a hurry, so didn't get a chance to speak to the owner...

VW 412 Variant or Sedan, most of the 411' speedos were calibrated in MPH and had a chrome beading. I've spent hundreds of hours in my life behind 'em!

You say 'was fitted' to the orange Ghia?

Past tense? What happened to the orange Ghia?

Sorry, it IS fitted to the Ghia

My question is, would this speedometer fit in the Type 3 speedometer location?

Or is this 411 speedometer the same as the Beetle size?(Too big to fit in the Type 3 dash)?

I would really like to have a KPH speedometer in the Fasty

Nope, won't fit in the Type 3, sorry. The speedo of a Type 3 is a lot smaller than the Type 4's

This is what a late-model km/h Type 3 speedo looks like. Good luck in finding one...

We can all dream of finding a NOS one in a pawn shop somewhere
