After searching awhile it appears the 72 style turn signal switch is NLA from Porsche. It looks like some have use the 72 Beetle switch with success. Looking at This Web Site they look the same but the wiring colors are different. It also looks like there is only one rub arm for the horn contact instead of two.
Anyone have experience with this? It looks like the colors are different but set up the same. Are the connectors the same? Wire length the same? or basically, is there any issues installing these? |

I know that at least externally the turn signal switch on my 72/ 4 is the same as my dad's 72 Super Beetle (as is the rest of the steering column). As far as the insides, I'm not sure, but I bet its probably the same part.
