[T3] Looking for a spare NOS '71 turn signal switch

[Phil Hof]

Samba discussions indicate that the guts of a Bug switch form the same era might be common, so I’ll check that out and take photos of the disassembly/reassembly process.  Probably not for a few weeks, but I’ll document what I find out and share.

I wonder if there is a similar solution for the ’71 ignition electrical switch.  Another fragile and far part.

Thanks,
-Phil

Anyone got a NOS spare?  I tend to keep one set of common failure parts, and those fragile plastic tits are a weak point.  I lube them and touch them gently, but you know? sometimes they are sensitive...
