[Healeys] Brake Light Switch

[Linwood Rose]

Bob, 
I may be the one who recommended the Ron Francis switch. I didn’t use it on my Healey. I used it on my 64 Jaguar MK2. It worked just fine - no thread incompatibility problems. No leaks at all. It is hard to believe that the brass pipe junction on the Jag has a different thread than the Healey, but obviously something must be different. I apologize if I steered you in the wrong direction. I no longer have the Jag so I can’t check for you. Perhaps someone else will chime in.

Today I tried to install it and it has the wrong threads, which I only realized after fabbing a couple leads for it.  So my question is, does anybody make a higher-quality--i.e. more sensitive--switch that will actually fit a Healey's brake lines? I've got a mechanical switch, but would prefer to stay with the hydraulic if I can find one that doesn't take a quarter-pedal of motion to activate.
