Great looking build! I just wanted to suggest that you fit a proper mechanical switch for the brake lights that actuates from the brake pedal itself rather than the hydraulic pressure switch you've used. I've never found them to be very reliable, and it's a lot easier to do these things now while you've still got good access.

Just my opinion! I'm sure loads of people have used them without problems, but I've replaced two now on separate cars because they both failed (they only switched when there was enough pressure to lock the front wheels!)

2nd that, use a proper switch for brake lights - those take too much pressure to activate and can trap air fitted that way up.

Cracking build BTW

Thanks for the heads up on the pressure switch, it is what was supplied with the kit.

I think i will swap for a normal switch then!
