TL RPM

What do you get when you add 22 year old VDO tach, 50 year old Type3 gas gauge, angle grinder (ofcourse) and duct tape? It's tach for the TL and a bunch of left over parts! I bought used accessory tach for 48 euros and butchered a red needle '62 gas gauge (with hesitation, but it was broken anyway). Now I'm able too see if the TL is running on idle or not at the trafic lights, as that's how quietly stock Type3s roll baby.

I have driven whole summer with highbeams on, as low beams didn't work. As the front is lowered and with 6V electrics they don't really bother other drivers. Today I had some time to check what's wrong, and I found out that simply both bulbs had failed. I wondered that should I order some 6V yellow bulbs from DealExtreme, just for the fun of it. 12V unit are readily available on local part store, but 6V I haven't noticed anywhere else. I don't really think piss yellow light are that good looking, just that they would look apart from the usual. I was seeking a bulb holder from my box of electric stuff, as I noticed one was broken and fixed with a cable tie. What do I find, NOS Philips 6V yellow bulbs, what a coincidence. They went in immediately! Looks stupid, but apart form the others! At the same time I also noticed that high beam marker light on the Speedo didn't work as the cable was connected to anything, so now it works too!
