What is correct for a Jan 53 zwitter? Also trying to identify the correct switch for my USA early ribbed door ragtop. It had bullets and snowflakes from the factory. Would that be a 6 wire early switch?
Pics would be appreciated please
Thanks Rory

can't answer the zwitter question but the bullets use the 6 wire switch (see wiring diags in technical section)

I believe they had column mounted 3-wire semaphore turn signal switches.

Thanks Matt. I will be contacting you about semaphores for the Zwitter.
I have two 6 wire switches and I’m trying to figure out which of the two is right for my early USA 55 threefold.

… your '53, split had semaphores and not bullet turn signals... The 3 wire semaphore switch was used - in April-ish 1955, semaphores were discontinued, in favor of turn signal lights. and the 6 wire switch, in the USA.
