Hey, i was just wondering if a 1958 beetle KPH speedo would fit into the place where a 1972super speedo just came out of? would there be any problems with the upgrade to 12V im about to buy a KPH speedo from America and ship it to New Zealand and was just wondering that - dont want to waste the money if its not going to work

The speedo is mechanical, so 12v is not an issue.

The lights aren't tho! Replace the OG 6v dash lights with 12v ones. Job done
