Anyone have a set of NOS or good condition ‘ semaphores’ to fit a 56 beetle please?.

I’m after 2 12v versions.

Thank you.

Really nice, the centerlines suits so well your car

the car looks gorgeous, especially when looking at what you started with a little bit more than one year ago.
Curious  to see it on Saturday.

the car looks really good. well done. I keep being amazed by what and how you did amp of this . have a good trip.

So far everything seems to be working fine. I’ve mostly just enjoyed the car. Went for some Twin peak boxers Wednesday-burgers to reveal the car to the local club. As well as a Cars & Coffee-event with two members from the club at the local racetrack, where two of us took home a small trophy.




A local club member bought a cheap tachometer at a swap-meet recently. Since I had previously mentioned that I had been looking at tachometers, he let me buy it from him for the same price. True friends!
A 5" Autometer 8K without shiftlight.
Tried it out at the office and it seemed to work just fine!



It needed some kind of mount so the 3D printer got to work a bit and voilà, I had a clamp. This one was then made in 2 more versions before I was satisfied. I’m still not entirely happy though.. Especially not with the print quality..


From the boating section at the local hardware store I bought a stainless shackle. I figured the screw from this could fit nicely for the mounting. The existing hole in the dashboard was used and the gauge fit like a glove!




Reluctantly, yet another hole was drilled for the cable..




Wired up the gauge with connectors from Amazon and secured it with a 2A fuse on the lead wire from the ignition. (Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a green cable for the coil signal so it ended up being gray..)
The lighting for the gauge is on its own wire and since I took it from the fuel gauge lighting, the dimmer works as well! Luxurious!



I also made a new mount that moves the tach a bit lower, but it still hits the glovebox when opened..


Wrapping up this post with some edited photos I took the other evening. Cheers!





This week it’s the Airmighty Show in the Netherlands. My trip down there departs from Sundsvall on Thursday. That gives us all of Thursday and Friday to cover 1650 km (1000 miles). Hopefully the car holds up, and maybe we’ll see you there?

Holy Cow! I was thinking this looked good from the top, but underneath as well! I can barely imagine the work involved (my Beetle is in a billion pieces at the moment) so you've put in a supreme effort there.

Beautiful 

ps. do you also have an issue with taking pictures of your Sea Blue color? . . . I end up having to edit and tweak my pictures to make the Sea Blue look like what I see in real life    ... my phone never accurately captures the color 

thank you Eddie 

Beautiful car Odyssey
