Hi All,
I am going through my bits for my 54 and I noticed that the red end for my indicator stalk has been cracked and glued back together. It is one of the ones that the end lights up when it is on. I believe these are quite hard to find but if anyone has a spare end please let me know. If anyone also knows what these are off or era if would be great.
Thanks

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
heath these are not a factory item, aftermarket of the time- if you need a new one moon products still make them

yeah they were an accessory item, not Volkswagen back them and very hard to find a good one these days
Morris - Austins - BMC - etc
with english lucas electricals had them
not sure if they are all the same...

fj' HOLDENS HADDEMMM ME THINKS
NOVEL IDEA
want any vw bits old but like me, Made in Germany!!!
yeah i think yr right FJs n holdens they were a NASCO product i think
Ive got one ( SOME WHERE ) i will have to find i t
thats attached to an origional VW arm but ive never fitted it I think i tested the light n it woirked but thats as far as i got obiviousley no VW numbers on the light or arm but the housing was OEM vw
I have one in my 57 oval and it works very well. It was made by hella as an acc. There two styles made, one with chrome shaft, the other was plastic, very weak easy to break off. To wire the switch up the light needs a ground return from the indicater relay for it to work. I have also modified my semafores to flash as well.
Square end chorme shaft and ivory colour housing
I have had a look at my Hella catalogue looks like they are still available. part # 4208. the ony problem is they have a black shaft and housing. Just paint it ivory to match coloum and it will look ok.
Mine is the same as 57oval. Square end chrome shaft. The opening in the housing is also different as the hole is slightly larger to be able to slide the stalk through with the globe in the end. Mine is also stamped hella.

I had one on my 356 - marked with 'SWF' on the end - worked fine 🙂. You could try someone like Stoddards or any other 356 parts place in the US for a repro item
I have the one second from the left but mine has cracked/chipped lense also.
