kilodawg,

No, that's not why I made that statement. The fact that one switch out of three was different suggests that it was changed.

As we all know, there are few absolutes when it came to what Porsche put on a particular car when it was built. Even Porsche sometimes get it wrong, as evidenced by errors in the parts diagrams or in "Certificates of Authenticity." There are also differences from market to market and sometimes people see something that was peculiar to a particular export market and assume all cars of that age were the same.

It's generally accepted that the early switches had black plastic bases and these were changed to similar switches with chrome bases around the time that the car in question, Cordts' '67 911S, was built. Perhaps the first part of the production run used the earlier switches. I don't really know, as I haven't looked into the question. It wasn't unusal for Porsche to use up remaining stockes of a superceded part and change to something else in the middle of the production run of a particular model.

If you want, I can take a look at a '67 here and see what it has for switches.

I'm still trying to help Cordts figure out his original problem, which is the function of his third switch.

By the way, the photo you posted is a good example of the differences that can be found. The order of the switches is different in that photo than others that were mentioned in this thread. Note the location of the hazard switch.
