I bought some of these screws from Wolfsburg West. They were also used on VW turnsignal switches. www.wolfsburgwest.com

Jim,

Try this: type356a,com/blinkerswitch.HTML I was scanning this website the other day and I believe he proudly claimed the reproduction of these very hard to find screws. I just passed over it as I have a C coupe so of course I couldn't be bothered.

Hope this helps.
