FWIW, the wiper lever with the washer switch valve is the same as on the 72-up
Beetle and Superbeetle. Also very early Rabbits had the same switch, but
without
the washer valve. The electrical part is the same, and can be transferred
to the
type1/3 switch. The benefit is that the early Rabbit often had intermittent
wipers, with the necessary contacts inside. They also had the electric washer,
with the proper contacts. The type3 had an automatic wipe feature when you
washed,
all contacts are there (just like new cars). A cool extra, no problem to
install.
A bit of wiring to do, though.
