There's "new" orange '71 MT Squareback in my driveway that someone just
dropped off for me to sort thru and fix up some minor problems. One problem
is that the little red brake warning light on the dash needs a repair that I can't
do, so I need a replacement. Does anyone out there have one they'd be
willing to sell me. I'll offer $25 plus $10 for shipping if you have one.
Note that there are two versions of this warning light. They LOOK the same.
'68-71 is the version I need, which had the red button/lens that pushes in. I
think beetles and buses got the same warning light, so any of those would
make good donors.
'72-3 got a later version where the center lens does NOT push in.
I need the early version, with the movable button/lens.
Note that this can be hard to remove from the dash. In fact, it might be easy
on a Bug. I don't know about buses. In a Type 3, it's a lot easier if the
speedo and clock are already removed. To remove, there are 2 plastic
spring tabs, one on each side, that need to be pushed in to allow the
assembly to come out of the dash.
Do NOT try to just pry the center button/lens out of the warning light assy.
That will just break the part that I need.
Please check your parts cars and let me know if you can sell me one.
thanks,
