[Spridgets] Brake light switches - hydraulic and non-hydraulic types

[David Lieb]

is why I mentioned that adjustment before you did the install. It is
particularly annoying because you need to undo all the pedalbox screws to
adjust it. Fortunately, there is a book you can buy that has this stuff in
it <VBG>
