Removed the parking brake switch to clean/maintain, but see it doesn't match anything I've ever seen before (photo below). Certainly not the ones that folks sell for this purpose and somewhat close to a Karmann or 412 dome light switch but with a 2mm spade rather than the 3mm spade that those have. It has a VW stamp and something like a K in a circle, but no part number. Original owner, so it's not like a PO jerry-rigged something. Any ideas, anyone?Attached Image

That is the correct stock handbrake switch. For reference is is also a stock VW Beetle door switch.

Thought so, too but a) most have 2-prongs or b) others have 3mm spade and slightly different vertical rather than horizontal configuration. Any chance there's an OEM part number? All 914 parking brake switches I can find show the door switch, which is really quite different. Thanks!
