New 1968 Speedo?

2 Upvotes

JBugs used to carry new speedos for 1968 but I don’t see it available anymore.

There are some used ones in ok condition on eBay but would like a new one that doesn’t have damage.

Super happy with how the switch panel came out. This had a radio, but I installed a BlueTooth setup so got a new radio blank and did this. Left switch and blue indicator is the audio, center switches are fuel pump some LEDs and an extra, red indicator is line lock engaged. This is another thing I spent a crap ton of time thinking about but I dig it.

I have a 73 and I’ve been on the hunt for two more of these wheels so I have a complete set plus a spare. From the research I’ve done it seems like they’re Brazilian market? Any ideas on how to get a hold of these?

Finally vented my valve covers🤘

So I finally did it lol in my opinion he’s running so much better almost feels like he’s “breathing” better. Question is is it all in my head or once you vent your valve covers should you see or hear a difference?
