Re the electric sensor that sits on the drivers side in a bolt through a banjo in the engine bay.

Is that sensor supposed to sit up proud or screw right down onto the top of the bolt?

Mine's seems to sit high with a space between the bottom of the sensor and the banjo bolt. Meaning that the thread must be tapered?

So:

1. It's supposed to screw down on top of the banjo bolt OR

2. It's supposed to sit up high.

The brake light switch... If Brake lights work and switch or it's fittings don't leak... DO NOT TOUCH IT.

Its 9 to 10 I'm talking about. Rest is ok.

Space is between 9 to 10. I note that there is no washer shown on the diagram.

Never mind DON'T TOUCH IT. I've rebuilt my whole brake system including making up all the hard lines.

It's just I thought that the sensor should sit down hard against the banjo but it doesn't want to. Either inside the bolt or the sensor thread must be tapered?

The original switch sits high, not sure about replacements / aftermarket ones though.
