[TR] brake light switch

[Rye Livingston]

Yep, I did that.  I had a two switches fail back to back.  The first one I replaced I noticed that nothing dripped when I took out the switch of the hydraulic system, but I bled the brakes anyway and no bubbles.  It was literally a few weeks later my brake lights were not working again.  I found some new old stock.  I put some brake fluid into the switch and then swapped it out no problems, no bleeding the brakes, and that was a couple of years ago.  All good.

I would have thought you could simply swap the old one out with a new one
without "getting into the hydraulics" Given the switch has a head of fluid
above it, I don't see any air getting into the system.

Hello,

Looks like my brake light switch is toast.

Would like to know if it is possible to convert to the later TR4/4A 
switch off the MC by making a bracket to hold the switch.

I dont want to get into the hydraulics unless I have to.

Car is a 63 TR4.

Thanks,

Bob
