Had intermittent to no brake lights at recent annual inspection, traced to a=
 failed switch.  Sourced switch and snubber.

Test fitting the new brake light switch fixed the brake light problem, and t=
he remnants of a crystalized snubber fell off when removing the defective sw=
itch housing and stop nut.

Now the issue is how to get the 14mm stop nut that should be forward of the b=
racket, started on the threaded portion of the new switch housing that goes t=
hrough the bracket from aft forward. Blind location and fat fingers don't he=
lp.=20

Tips and tricks?

I will leave the new snubber off for the time being given I cannot see where=
 it came from or where it should go, unless there are also tips and tricks f=
or visualizing and replacing that.

Thanks.

Try holding the nut against the bracket & try screwing the disconnected swit=
ch into the bracket & nut.=20

Do you have any young(er) neighbors who might fit in easier.=20

Finally, remove the driver=E2=80=99s seat to give yourself more room.=20

Peace,

Spent the afternoon trying that, Pat, to no avail. Steering wheel removed, h=
ead and hand in the footbox.

Will get into it again tomorrow with renewed vigor.=20

Thanks.

Finally got the stop nut on and adjusted.=20

Key was using a brake pedal prop rod to create just enough room behind the s=
witch bracket to get the stop nut positioned, then rotating the switch to ta=
ke up slack and adjust the bite point.

Thanks to all, for the suggestions and encouragement!
