Hey, I'm a little confused. Ya'll say the switch 111-953-519G is the 924 switch used for this mod but when you check out that part number California Import Parts it comes up for a 74-79 Beetle. Did I miss something or is the part one in the same for the 924 and the Beetle? It looks like it has the same squirt tubes for the stock air pressure powered 914 washer system.
You didn't miss anything. The wiper switch in the 914/4 was a beetle part, just like the ignition lock. When Porsche designed the 924, it was actually designed to be an Audi sports car, hence the Audi Fox engine, the Audi transmission, the super beetle front struts and the super beetle rear trailing arms. They used lots of other parts from the VW/Audi parts bin.
Then Audi decided not to go forward with the project so Porsche decided to build it as a replacement for the 914.
From Wikipedia:
The 924 was originally intended to be Volkswagen's flagship coupé sports car and was dubbed "Project 425" during its development. At the time, Volkswagen lacked an internal research and design division, and Porsche was doing the bulk of the company's development work, per a deal that went back to the 1950s; in keeping with this history, Porsche was contracted to develop a new sporting vehicle with the caveat that this vehicle must work with an existing VW/Audi I4 engine. Porsche chose a rear wheel drive layout and a rear-mounted transaxle for the design to help provide 48/52 front/rear weight distribution; this slight rear weight bias aided both traction and brake balance.
The 1973 oil crisis, a series of automobile-related regulatory changes enacted during the 1970s and a change of directors at Volkswagen made the case for a Volkswagen sports car less striking and the 425 project was put on hold. After serious deliberation at VW, the project was scrapped entirely after a decision was made to move forward with the cheaper, more practical, Golf-based Scirocco model instead. Porsche, which needed a model to replace the 914, made a deal with Volkswagen leadership to buy the design back.There are more VW parts on a 924 than there are on a 914, but we get the NARP label....
