Had my speedo needle in my squareback start to "oscillate" , markedly at low speeds. Easy thinks I, just a broken strand in the speedo cable. Got a new one, exactly the same. Tried my spare speedo, same thing. A month or so later I put a new steering damper on, problem gone!. Must have been some wheel wobble. Incidentally ( you blokes may already know but....) the damper from a superbeetle fits a T3 admirably. Had to pack out the thick chassis end of the damper by a washer. A moment of dismay when the rubber bush in steering box arm turned to dust. Got a bush from the rear leaf spring from a 1965 Holden ( Aust GMH thing for you USA blokes) and shaped it on my grinder , pulled it into place with a 1/4 whit threaded rod etc . The lesson here is NEVER EVER throw anything away. John
