Hi list,
I'm interested in this issue also. My friend's new brake light switch we
put in this BN4 didn't work for more than a few thousand miles. I don't
know if it makes any difference, but he uses Silicone brake fluid.
Some time ago someone mentioned that a V W bug hydraulic brake light switch
worked in the Healey and was a better switch. Anyone know anything about
that?
Vrooom vrooom,
John
