My Manx came with the Lucas L594 style lenses. They look a little like tiny beehives.

In my opinion this is by far the best description of the VW horn system through the years. It saved me on a Speedster project I was doing. http://www.thebugshop.org/bsfqhorn.htm

I installed these three gauges out of a 914 in this Speedster replica. The replica was a vw pan based car and the gauges and tach hooked up with no issues. I never had the chance to verify the accuracy in regards to the measurement of speed in that car so I can't vouch for that. The tach is larger t...

If the damage is limited to cracks, or even just small peices missing you can easily repair. For larger repairs it is always easiest if you have large pieces to work with. Just about anything can be done with fiberglass. Here are a couple of photo's of a CMC Speedster that I bought damaged and repai...

No reason to have to use a column mounted turn signal switch. You can use a center off DPDT toggle switch mounted on the dash. Not amazingly convienent, but it works.
