Beetle Mechanical Fuel Sender - 1961-67 (Also Karmann Ghia - 1962-66)

This mechanical fuel sender is a high-quality reproduction of the original cable-driven unit fitted to VW Beetles and Karmann Ghias from 1961 to 1967, as well as compatible Buggy and Baja builds using early fuel tanks. Unlike later electric versions that use a wire and gauge, this sender operates via a mechanical cable system, making it the correct choice for vehicles with a dashboard-mounted mechanical fuel gauge.

Installed inside the fuel tank, this sender connects directly to the gauge via a physical cable and accurately moves the gauge needle based on fuel level. It’s the ideal solution for period-correct restorations or replacing a worn or non-functional original sender in early-model vehicles.

Built to match original specifications for fit and function, this unit ensures reliable readings and a proper fit into the sender opening. For best results, inspect the condition of the sender cable and mechanical gauge during replacement, as any stiffness or breakage may affect accuracy.

Applications:

• VW Beetle: 1961–1967

• VW Karmann Ghia: 1961–1967

• VW Buggy + Baja: 1961–1967 (with early-style fuel tank and mechanical gauge)
