| Post subject: | Ditching the brake pressure switch |
Hi people. As the topic suggests, I am looking at going with a pedal mounted microswitch for the brake lights in my white car. I am wanting to know how people elimiate the brake pressure switch. I am at the point with the project where I will need to finalise this (engine in for the last time - after installing the LSD). On the same topic, I am after the y-piece that sits above the right hand brake hose, and the "bolt" that houses the (normally) pressure switch. Thanks in advance!

Power brakes should have a blanking plug that fits in place of the switch, then it's just to wire it up. |

Ah, here it is. http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic ... sc&start=0 I just left the pressure switch where it is (it was the third one in a year) and ran the same two wires back to the new mechanical switch that I got from an auto elcetrician. Works well. Hardest part was setting it in the right place to make it work as soon as you put the brakes on. |

Totally jinxed yourself there willy and i did the exact same as Flut with my switch. left it in and rewired the lights because they only came on when i was locking the wheels |
