switches

Last question......

I have a 1988 911 Targa.

Are both brake light switches the same part number, or are there two different types/versions of the switches sold by Pelican Parts???

Yikes!

The article says 40 lb of gold were used on this car.

40 lb x 14.583 Troy Ounces/lb x today's price of $1084/Troy ounce = $632,318.88 gold value!

I'd love to recycle that car!
