IIRC, a recent thread said the brake pedal switch on the later
Roadsters was the same as many other 70's Datsuns, so should be pretty
common in wrecking yards (especially pick-n-pull types). Make sure
your brake pedal spring is strong enough since the switch works when it
is NOT pressed.
Also, found after looking at that 1200 that some knobs (headlight, at
least) are the same so will need to go swipe some off a 1200 in a
wrecking yard...
