[Healeys] brake switch

[Carr&Edwards]

Last spring I finally found a nice LED brake light for my MG-TD at 
www.jandlenterprise.com -- their BrakeLighter is 12"x<1", exterior mount 
[website doesn't say so, but it is--all molded plastic].  We made two 
aluminum brackets, similar to badge-bar clips, to fasten it to the luggage 
rack, and wired it to plug into the trailer-light plug.  [If we're towing 
the trailer, we really don't need the extra brake light--trailer lights are 
huge.]  I'll be buying one for the Healey at Rhinebeck next month; now to 
figure out a way to mount this one without drilling holes in the deck 
lid....
