Has Anyone installed a VDO Electric Speedometer? by Scott
AS luck would have it I replaced the mechanical old VDO speedometer in my dune buggy with the newer electronic version. After calibrating the thing on a true mile distance and getting it to work, the needle movement is worse than the damn gas gauge splashing around. Way to much lag and jump in...
