[Vwpickups] Cluster name and (VSS) Vehicle Speed Sensor or Signal

[decker at toledotel.com]

    I don't have answers to your questions but I use Audio-Vox aftermarket
cruise control on my Rabbits and they work great for me. They use a magnet
pickup on an inner C/V joint if you don't have a speed sensor. They cost me
about 120 bucks.

> Q1 Is the term "westmoreland" style cluster referring to the clusters that
have a 18 pin connector positioned at the top of the cluster and uses four
(4) screws to hold it in place on the 81-84 MK1s?

> I have found a VSS connection on the speedometer for vehicles with cruise
control.
> I have found the a tab on earlier clusters that appears to be for the same
connector (1981-84) "westmoreland" type.
