I have an addition to the 'Silly Little MGB Questions':
What is the little rectangular red light on the left side of the steering
column (on the dash) for? I looked it up in a manual and it says that
its a brake test lamp. How does it work?

The light is supposed to come on if one of your brake system's dual
cylinders fails or if your handbrake is on - but Lucas knows enough not to
trust their own system - and that the primary reason your red light is not
on is because it isn't working. Sooo - they provide you with the rocker
switch with which you may test the light - but how do you test the rocker
switch.
This raises another question. The light works on my '76 but the rocker
switch doesn't move. Was it a dummy by then, or is mine broken.
And another question. Anybody know where I can get a new one of these
brake-light-test-switch deals for '72-76? Silly question, I know, but
maybe somebody has a secret cache of NOS ones and is willing to part with
one. I don't care if it works - is the chrome bezel in good shape? (Like
most Lucas switches, it can be fixed).
