Hello, first time caller.
I have a replica 356 Speedster that was made from a 1960 RHD VW Bettle.
I'd not owned it long when my youngest daughter (2yo) snapped the indicator stalk off the turn signal switch. I am struggling to find a switch and hope that someone here may be able to help? Either identifying what I have and/or where I might be able to buy one?
I will try upload a photo shortly.

I'm located in New Zealand.

Thank you for your time.

Chris.

I Looked at your Gallery photos...

That's a 1972/newer Beetle turn signal switch. Never seen one modified in the manner yours was though. In your photo of it removed, it's still attached the wiper switch, but it looks like the wiper switch has been gutted out and is now just fills the space between the turn switch on the column tube assembly. You'll find photos of the replacement switch don't include the lower wiper switch.

Not sure what you'll find locally, but the VW part number is 111953513F.

Some USA/Canada links, OEM German switches go for 100 USD. China made knockoffs for much less. Not sure how well new switches would modify like yours was, does your application need that different stalk?
