BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH

I want to fit an in-line pressure switch for the stop lights,any clues anyone?.

I'm using the MK floor up pedals and fitting a normal electrical switch is a bit awkward there.
I'm sure in-line pressure switches have been used,but cant seem to find what i'm looking for.
Cheers

I got mine and a four way adaptor from merlin motorsport.

Have plumbed it in at the front split point where the pipes go to each FU tube brackets. Scutter

Bob,got mine from scrappie-old VW golf -fitted t-piece to rear pipes and screwed switch into t-piece-dont forget you will need metric switch to fit sierra fittings,Mike.

Hi Mike,

I've never had to mess around with the brakes on my MK2 golf. Which model golf was it? MK1 or MK2? And where at the back of the car is it?

Thanks,

James

Thanks Dan/mike
I think the T-piece and switch from VW is the way to go,probably cheaper than MM as well(even new)

I think there is a pic of this in the links at sevenbuild.com
A very informative indy build archive.

I'm being a retard aren't I? Nothing new there...

Presumably you meant the rear T piece for the rear wheel brake lines!

I'll shut up now I think!
