Thread: Under the floor Master Cylinder - how to mount brake switch?

Tweet

Pressure type switches were a cheap and effective way back in the '30's to operate a single brake light on a 6 volt system. Now, with that being said, why would an modern rodder want to use a 70 year old device to provide safety on their car? Hell man, mechanical brakes will stop you if you put enough pressure on them and have enough time to stop before you hit something. You don't go keeping those on your 32 roadster, do you? With 99.9% of the new vehicles having electric switches to operate their brake lights, why wouldn't you want the best deal for your rod?

Sometimes people just go on using the same old thing over and over for one reason only; because they don't know any better. If you are reading this now, we know that you have compute access and you have the world at your finger tips. So why not just punch in " brake light switches" into Google and see what you get. Here's a couple of switches I found that you may find usefull and easy to fabricate into your brake operation.
