This turn signal switch does not fit around the steering column that came with my '57 Oval bug. The right side of the housing fits the column perfectly, but the back of the left side is not shaped to wrap around the column. Am I not looking at installation correctly or is this the wrong switch?

are there any markings inside either part? I'm sure the ones on vws had a straight stalk and I suspect the switch side and clamp side are for different cars - surely to clamp a column it would need to have matching diameters? :?

Both sides of the housing are marked SWF and I find VW marks on the left side of the housing and on the switch itself.

I'm starting to suspect this switch is for a transporter, not for a bug. And it has a bent arm.

Is there a part number on the switch ?

No part numbers that I can see.

Can anybody help identify this turn signal switch? I went ahead and bought another that fits my '57 bug, but I need to identify this one so I can sell it!

The housing that the switch is screwed in to is for a VW bus. The C shaped piece is for bug or Ghia, or 356. The other half of the clamp is also bug Ghia or 356. It’s a miss matched combination. The actual switch itself will work on all those models
