I have a 1957 356 a - early, so a T1
I have done a full restoration, including a new wiring loom.
my car fully working now.. except the signal and brake lights..
my wiring loom is numbered (From Y & Z), so I know where the wires go to on the car.. but cannot figure out where they go on the signal switch, it is original to the car.. and the colored lines on the wire are so faded I cannot "match them"
I have a picture of the signal switch insides, and the wiring info from a Joe L book
any thoughts ?

here is a the wiring types.. the difficulty is that i cannot see the color types on my wires as they are faded to much, even after I cut back a portion of the casing..
so I need to figure out what wires on the switch go where..
anyone know what wires go to what location on the switch ?
