Your car came from the factory with a duel MC you do not need to change anything out.


Yup, you're good to go! :thumbs:

I've been running a regular dual circuit master cylinder on mine with CB front disks and rear drums and it has worked great. I am going to switch to a "dual disk" master cylinder now, but only because I put on CB rear disks. You'll be fine :thumbs:

I was looking at getting those last year, but after talking to the guy, it sounded like they were not as bright as the regular bulbs... :| I guess it's one of those things that "sounds cool" but doesn't really work well.

Wow! The gas gauge is really lit up. But the mph numbers can hardly be seen.

I saw a guy on The Samba that used the LEDs and they really lit his speedo up.

Very interesting...

You don't need to know the speed just that you have gas......
