Jeff I'm sure I have seen cars with the level switch hanging/part of the filler
cap.
So if you could find one to fit then the wiring would be relatively easy to do.
Should just be power(switched), switch and light in series to ground.
Just what car has a similar diameter and thread with the built in level switch
(at about the right level as well don't forget) is the big question. Maybe take
the existing one round the junk yards to find a match or see if the local auto
parts store can come up with something?

Doug,
Maybe that's because you enjoy the safety net of a dual reservoir braking
system. The level warning switch would be a marvelous safety device for
those of us with '67 and earlier Spitfires. I dare say it could make the
difference between business as usual and catastrophe. I think that I'm
going to pursue this and if I can come up with something viable, I'll share
it with the list. I would think that rigging a switch to the M/C that warns
you of a dangerously low fluid level should be fairly inexpensive and not
too difficult. The most time consuming aspect of the whole thing is going
to be finding the sensor itself.
