I am having a problem with brake light switches on my A40.
It is a Sprite disc front and Sprite later drum rear.
Inline hydraulic brake light pressure switch.
Since February of 98 when the A40 first saw the road I have gone thru 4
brake light switches.
I am using silicone DOT 5 brake fluid and everything else is perfect. I
just keep eating up switches.
The last 2 were new, the first 2 were working used when installed and I
just assumed they went bad from being old. The last 2 each lasted about
2 months, same as the used ones.
Anybody else having this problem with silicone?
Or am I just the lucky one?
Has anyone adapted a pedal mounted contact switch to a Sprite?
(pre 68) This is my next quest since I am out of NOS Lucas brake light
switches and the Asian ones from the suppliers are out of the question.

Similarities? Modifications? other ideas?

Thanks
Frank
