Google Hall effect speedometer sender. There are multiple options but I chose to buy the Autometer one. I did this exact thing to one of my Bugs. I wanted all Autometer Cobalt series gauges and unfortunately, they did not make a mechanical Cobalt speedo. So, I started doing some research and came across the Hall effect senders. Most of the senders say they are for Ford or Chrysler/GM but the cable from my Bug threaded right on. Here is a basic install sheet from Autometer

Good luck
