Does it Exist?!? Odd Year Turn Signal

Jalabert · Posted: Thu Oct 08, 2015 5:38 pm Post subject:

I've got a '73 and I went through the same thing a couple of years ago...

What's the options when these become NLA? Is it change out the whole steering binnacle time...? What parts dictate that this switch is used?

Cheers,

Simon

Wolfsburg has it on their site but looks to be not available. https://www.wolfsburgwest.com/cart/DetailsList.cfm?ID=211953509H

if it doesn't have to be specific your year then this one may work as I just got their email ad the other day about their late model bus one.

Dude - snap that one up for $200 asap. I had to do this same search about 2.5 years ago for my 74. Same one year only switch.

Scrivy,
Bus is parked at the house. Motor is torn apart, picking up heads tomorrow. Waiting on P & L's, then reassembly begins. I wish I was driving! You going to the Busfest in Texas??
Thanks for the feedback guys, it's a bummer the switch is all good other than the plastic piece, nonetheless, I'm ordering one soon. NOS, just for piece of mind.

So was it only 73-74 that had a switch that looks like this? I seem to recall seeing something very similar to this in my stash, but I have only ever owned a 76 and my current 79. I will have a look around this long weekend and see if I can find it. If you are interested and can't go NOS, PM me and I'm sure we can work out a deal as I have no need of it. Otherwise I should put it in the classifieds I guess.

Captin,
From what I recall from reading and the wise Tcash, this particular setup was fall of '72-spring of '74.
It would be awesome if you just had this junk laying around, in decent shape, I'd be entitled to give you my money and still owe you a coke, Pepsi, or a draft.
Let me know!

So I dug up this switch. It looks like the correct number but also looks like the last 3 digits were stamped over, and maybe the "H" (not by me). I will offer it up to the OP if it is the correct one for his bus, but don't want to mislead him on the number. Does anyone have any comments on if this is the correct switch? It has 5 wires, but I have no idea where I got it. Shocked

Captincanuck, I have PMed you. Shoot me a message and let me know what you'd like to have for it. Looks solid to me, and to be the correct part!!

alman72

sorry to raise the dead. what is the difference between 211 953 508 H AND 211 953 509 H ? T cash said that the op needed the 508, and then the OP bought a 509. same part? did T cash fat finger?

SamboSamba22

What I picked up was original and identical to what I pulled out. Though the last couple numbers did differ, and the one I got was kinda stamped over.
Captincanuck hooked me up with an OG switch, functioning correctly and all electrical was plug and play. They are out there (these switches), I still have my old one around if it's worth anything.
Cheers,
Sam

I ask because I picked up 3 used 509s today, just in case my late 73 ever busts. two appear to work well, but the third only likes to pop out the plastic toggle every now and then. plus, it has a cut harness. overall a good score.
thanks for the quick reply

???? looking back now at T Cash's first comment, is says 509. I swear it was 508 yesterday. either I had too much sun, mini-stroke, or T-cash edited his og comment. Back me up, here, Sambosamba!!
if I just misread , sorry T-cash

SamboSamba22

Alman! Haha it does say 509, I don't know if there is such as 508 or that there are any differences. I will vouch and say without much zoom, the stamp does seem to read 508. Perhaps the sun, and a few brews.
On another note, if I need another one, I know who to contact! Cool

I've only been on here for a short while, but one thing I've learned, Tim (Tcash) knows quite a bit in regards to these ole buses.
Hasta luego,
Sam

If anyone else has one laying around, I'd like to get it! Or maybe one that doesn't work electrically but the plastic piece for cancelling isn't broken.

That's my problem-the plastic broke so for turns one direction I have to hold the lever down and it doesn't cancel either direction. At least the lights will flash, I guess.

Has anyone modified or tried a earlier or later switch? The 211-953-509h switch is impossible to find.
