Re: Speedometer bulb
If I remember correctly for the big type speedometer, it comes off together with the plastic cover, so you have to loosen the speedometer cable, or pull it gently in to the cabin, to get the plastic cover and speedometer unit out enough to get a hand behind to loosen the cable from the speedometer, and the electrical connections. Maybe this site can help: http://www.entmontage.de/cockpit_e.htm

Quite impressive I think.

Re: Speedometer bulb
Oh, was forgetting you have the cool version of the speedo. I have the little boring rectangular one.

Re: Speedometer bulb
The little speedo is by far the coolest. Much more in keeping with the character and philosophy of the car. The big speedo from the Ami looks ungainly and out of place.

Re: Speedometer bulb
I'd just like to find a good one that reads in MPH without having to pay a kings ransom. You know since the US and UK are the only countries stilling using MPH.
All the good ones that read in MPH on Ebay.UK are quite expensive The ones that seem reasonably priced are all knackered.

Re: Speedometer bulb
I like the bigger one for its sense of occasion at higher speeds. Always found the ammeter an odd extra considering the rest of the car though.

Re: Speedometer bulb
The figures are on the glass you can make sticker-figures to put on. The ones that are on it now can be washed off with water...
