Hi Bill,
I agree to all the terms. No problem about the speedo, mine works fine.
I'm glad when I can get rid of the HUGE clock (it doesn't work anymore
anyway).
Ship to: Karl Batzler
54-420 Eisenhower Drive
La Quinta, CA 92253
Thanks for your help
Karl Batzler
84 Vanagon
191,000 miles and counting.
