Steve,

For the hitch, try asking Ron at Bus Depot, he sells them too - though
he seems to be out of them lately...

For speedometer repair, try this link for information:

It's about Porsche speedometers, but the instrutions work for the
Vanagon too.  Just be sure to LIGHTLY crimp the pot metal gear, too
much and it won't go back on the shaft...
