The recent thread re: fog light switches got me to thinking about the switch on my own '70. I've not seen another one like it before. Anybody with an early /4 or /6 have one like this?

Tom, I saw that link on the previous thread about fog light switches, and that's what got me thinking about my '70. But, the car was originally delivered with that switch, and it had neither the rubber surround nor the fog light symbol. My first thought was that those compoments were not yet available for early 914s, but thinking more about it, surely the vendor (BOSCH? HELLA?) provided full switch assemblies for the 911 model run during that time period. Your observation makes a lot of sense though. It does appear that my switch is missing the outer perimeter piece as well as the F/L icon. After 40 years without those two little pieces, how "correct" would it be to now install them?

Another possibility, is that the dealer or somebody "borrowed" them - even while still on the lot, and you or the original new buyer jsut never noticed or thought it was complete & correct!?
