In fact I once had it set so close that the brake lights would flash with every bump in the road -- that might have been a good thing in some ways.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490986415919_131836"><br clear="none"></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490986415919_131837">Geo</div></div><div class="yiv9119943382gmail_extra"><br clear="none"><div class="yiv9119943382gmail_quote">On Sat, Apr 1, 2017 at 6:13 PM, Frank Fisher <span dir="ltr"><<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:yellowtr3@yahoo.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:yellowtr3@yahoo.com">yellowtr3@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br clear="none"><blockquote class="yiv9119943382gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div class="yiv9119943382yqt9703828557" id="yiv9119943382yqt49421"><div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><div dir="ltr" id="yiv9119943382m_-821110084250620265yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490996560515_73533"><span id="yiv9119943382m_-821110084250620265yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490996560515_73534">im not ready to convert yet David. im going to be stubborn about it for a while longer</span></div><span class="yiv9119943382HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"></font></span><div dir="ltr" id="yiv9119943382m_-821110084250620265yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490996560515_73532"><span><br clear="none"></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv9119943382m_-821110084250620265yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490996560515_73531"><span>Frank</span></div><div class="yiv9119943382m_-821110084250620265qtdSeparateBR" id="yiv9119943382m_-821110084250620265yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490996560515_73530"><br clear="none"><div class="yiv9119943382hm yiv9119943382HOEnZb"><br clear="none"></div></div><div class="yiv9119943382m_-821110084250620265yahoo_quoted" id="yiv9119943382m_-821110084250620265yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490996560515_73510" style="display:block;"><div class="yiv9119943382hm yiv9119943382HOEnZb"> </div><div id="yiv9119943382m_-821110084250620265yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490996560515_73509" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"><div class="yiv9119943382hm yiv9119943382HOEnZb"> </div><div id="yiv9119943382m_-821110084250620265yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490996560515_73508" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"><div class="yiv9119943382hm yiv9119943382HOEnZb"> <div dir="ltr" id="yiv9119943382m_-821110084250620265yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490996560515_73507"> <font id="yiv9119943382m_-821110084250620265yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490996560515_73529" face="Arial" size="2"> </font><hr id="yiv9119943382m_-821110084250620265yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490996560515_73528" size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> David Templeton <<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:davidt@opentext.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:davidt@opentext.com">davidt@opentext.com</a>><br clear="none"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">To:</span></b> Randall <<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:TR3driver@ca.rr.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:TR3driver@ca.rr.com">TR3driver@ca.rr.com</a>>; 'Frank Fisher' <<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:yellowtr3@yahoo.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:yellowtr3@yahoo.com">yellowtr3@yahoo.com</a>>; 'Triumphs List' <<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net" target="_blank" href="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net">triumphs@autox.team.net</a>> <br clear="none"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">Sent:</span></b> Saturday, April 1, 2017 5:23 PM<br clear="none"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [TR] brake light switch TR3<br clear="none"> </div></div><span> </span><div class="yiv9119943382m_-821110084250620265y_msg_container" id="yiv9119943382m_-821110084250620265yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490996560515_73550"><br clear="none"><div dir="ltr" id="yiv9119943382m_-821110084250620265yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1490996560515_73551">I have to agree with Randall, I added the mechanical switch to mine and wired it in parallel to the pressure switch and it comes on at a touch.
