|
|
I have been hunting for an aftermarket speedometer gauge for a 69 ghia. All I can seem to find is 3 3/8" or 3 3/4". Does anyone know who make them? I think it would look really silly if I have all aftermarket gauges and the old speedometer. I have called Egauges and got no where. Thanks for the help.

you need to find one that is 4 1/4 and if you do post it because I cant find one either. I assume its a ghia only size for the 68-71 years _________________ **********************************

Here is a shot of what I did, but I would still like them to match some aftermarket oil temp, oil pressure, and volt gauges

it takes a bit of patience to pry off the chrome ring, and make sure you replace the needle i nthe exact same spot when you reassemble, or it will throw off your calibration.
btw type 3 speedo is the right diameter, you just need to grind off the mount tabs in the back because they mount differently. |

CLKWRK- what kind of cd player is that? I am looking for a CD player that will not require any dash modifications. |

that is a sony xplod deck, i does not fit in the original hole , I had to mount it from the back with a fancy bracket I made.
I am not using it anymore as I did cut my dash for my 911 gages |

Will a 66 bug speedo fit a 69 Ghia? As far as hole size? I realize the obvious other differences but would it actually fit ? |
