While fitting our new engine, we are also converting our pedals as the original setup didn't have enough leverage so it was a bit on / off. We are going for floor mounted, but this means the Escort "push to break" switch is going to be in the way of yer foot! Any other ideas? I was wondering if there is a pressure activated switch you can fit in the brake line pipe somewhere?
Yes there are pressure switches out there, i know some old rovers had them... its a case of either going to a scrappy and having a nose around or your
friendly motor factors, i bet some one on here will be able to tell you what car they come from...
Conrod told me yesterday which car to get them off but I've forgotten. John???

Old minis had them but they weren't metric, but that shouldn't be a problem as long as you buy fittings all at the same time.
yours, Pete.
I'm pretty sure Bob told me his comes from a VW Golf.
Cheers,

We got ours from our local Partco factors after finding the part number on a self build website. Can't remember what the site was and I
can't find it right now, but the car was called a Stryker (the guy's name was Richard). He has a comprehensive list of parts and suppliers
for everything on his car... very useful as he is quite local... shame it isn't a Locost! Perhaps AndyD will know the site address or the part
number when he reads this. 
StuartA, is this the one you're thinking of? Very useful site, very nice car too!!

vw golf mk1 and various other quality products from the same company ie LT vans
think i have seen summat in the europa spares catalog if all else fails......
can you use a motorbike type setup? Its sometimes a pull switch using a spring in tension - a bit of pedal movement pulls the switch on via the spring
and the spring copes with the excess extra travel

And,merlinmotorsports.co.uk
I got mine from them was about 6 quid in M10 fit as the rest of the the car,makes it a bit easier.
Theres a pic in my archive of it in situ.
Thanks folks- looks like that one from Merlin is the way to go- couldn't find anything in my europa catalogue (although it could be me being a bit blind...)
