Re: Custom Beetle speedo
dude how do you come up with these prices. . . . . Word of advice. . . At these prices you are bound to sell very little. I love buying bits but your prices scare even me.

Re: Custom Beetle speedo
When was the last time that someone priced a complete speedo refurb and recalibration?

Re: Custom Beetle speedo
i refurbish my own blitz. . . Early models that is. With a few hours to spare anyone can do it. Question is; do you really need to re calibrate? Ran 4 early speedos with my gps and all of them were spot on.

Re: Custom Beetle speedo
Pierre at Speedometer services re-calibrate a Beetle speedo and change the facia to indicate a max of 200, 220 or whatever you want it to be. After he worked on it, it is accurate at all speeds, and still looks factory original.
It is however a personal thing - you pay the bucks because you want it for yourself, you are not gonna make a fortune trying to sell it to someone else...

Re: Custom Beetle speedo
4 years ago I paid R320 to redo the speedo on my 58.
