old to new clocks...

[norris]

guys,

I have a 1980 Aircooled 2l t25 (lhd) and want to swap the kmh speedo for mph (assume would be from a rhd)

I'm told that mph just connect fine as the speedo dictates whether kmh or mph is shown?

Somebody did tell me that there may be a connection issue as later models have a right angled speedo cable fitting and earlier models horizontal.

Can anyone clear this up for me please?

cheers,

neil

from my understanding the earlier speedo cables (up to around '84/'85) were screw fit, whereas later were a push on fitting.
Could be getting this wrong, but I don't think they are compatible.
hope this helps

hi cshots

it is actually a push fit

As he said...make sure the speedo drive fitting is the same....but also check the number at the bottom of the clock is the same (mine is 805) below the trip re-set on later vans although yours probably won't have a trip meter.
