If you try to run without the dust caps, you'll need to find a new way to anchor the end of the speedometer cable.
c21darrel's response in the Speedo cable chronic breaking thread does a great job of clearly showing how the speedometer cable is anchored in the driver's side dust cap ...

It just pokes right thru the center. There is a clip on the end so it wont back out.

I suppose with modern technology being as it is, you could live without the OG speedometer and just roll with speedometer app on your smartphone.  |

The modified dust cap on the right works for me, although the center caps on my 2.0 liter Fuchs have the Wolfsburg emblem instead of Porsche...
