Gotcha Frank! Ironically, I now recall that my three 60s Slant 6=C2=A0 Dod=
ges ( 61 Lancer wagon, 63 Dart GT convert & 65 Dodge a100 pickup) used mech=
anically activated brake light switches, as does my 65 TR4=3D CT50054L I'D =
by VTR decades ago as last TR4 by serial# imported to US Later TR4s were TR=
4As (IRS).
Not surprised TR3s had hydraulic switch but so did Jag 120s-150s.
On the Jags, switch was in brake line lower inner fender and when leaked- d=
river lost brake system. On long club drive fortunately had bolt to replace=
bad switch & saved friends Day as we were over 100mi from 'home DC area".
Many have replaced hydraulic switches with mechanically activated switches,=
not hard to do.
Oh the simple things that cause 'anxiety' when they fail!Sherman=C2=A0
