JBugs - 1971 VW Super Beetle - Padded Dashboard Installation 

No problem at all. I hate hearing people say how dashboards don't fit. They absolutely do, if you know how to fit them!

Thank you, it wasn't exactly what I wanted but I couldn't find a RHD glove box door!

I’ve used stock and VDO senders with stock and VDO gauge. Just got to make sure you have the right sender.

Thank you, took some figuring out but, I got it figured!

This dashboard (if that's what you're referring to as the "frame") fits 1971-1974 and 1976-1977 Standard Beetles and 1971-1972 Super Beetles. It does not fit 1973-1979 Super Beetles. - www.jbugs.com/product/113857051DS.html

Optimistic that VDO would eventually make the 120mph Speedo again, yes. They discontinue more and more products daily.

Left Turn, Oil Pressure, Hi Beam, Battery, Right Turn

@@Sam_Mebane probably not a bad thing to have oil pressure light in addition to the gauge. Thank you for the info and great videos on the ‘71.

@@joekegg correct, but we're just mimicking what VW originally ran with the exception of adding separate left and right turn signal indicators.

We have seen people use various plastic paints and dyes to change the dashboard color. SEM Vinyl & Plastic paint is something we've used in the past on various plastic pieces. We do offer padded dash tops as well as the plastic facias for the Karmann Ghia, yes. www.jbugs.com/category/vw-dashboards.html

Search that at JBugs.com, should bring it right up.

You’ll have to test that one, perhaps on a piece from behind the dash grill.
