Brake Fluid Test Switch
As an alternative to brake reservoir float switches, I believe there are in-line switches that are SVA acceptable. I wondered if anyone has fitted
them, where in the system and where purchased.
Also, what handbrake micro switches do people use.
Your help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Sierra handbrake microswitch works well.
Are you confusing low fluid level switch with stop light switch?

I'm not sure how you could have a switch in line to let you know of low fluid level in the reservoir, in order to test the level in a reservoir
it needs to actually be in the reservoir itself.

No, I believe minis of a certain age had an in-line fluid sensor that did the same job as a reservoir float switch. It might suit me to fit an in-line
switch rather than a float switch if I knew where to source them

i guess you would fit the switch near the resivoir so if there is no fluid near the switch, the chance is that there wont be any fluid in the
resivoir, thats the only way i can see an inline one working

it was called a pdwla switch,70,s bl cars used them.if pressure dropped in 1 circuit a ball bearing would move and put the light on.
prob difficult to get hold of and if mr sva says no you got probs,best to go for the normal cap type and save a lot of agg

That was a low pressure switch.

You need to demonstrate to Mr SVA that when fluid drops to a certain level the warning light illuminates. This will not happen with a low pressure
switch so its a non starter imo.
There must be a suitable cap with a float switch that will fit but you might be better off changing reservoirs.
Cheers,
