I have a hydraulic switch on my TR250.  I don't think I have replaced it
since I redid the car 15 years ago (wow!).  There is a pretty good chance
the vendor I bought it from is gone, as I got most of my stuff from TRF and
Victoria British.

My TR3 has used DOT 5 fluid for at least 25 years and I have not needed 
to replace the hydraulic brake light switch for at least 20 of those years.

    <p>My TR3 has used DOT 5 fluid for at least 25 years and I have not
