<div class="ydpf3ede54ayiv9399958061PlainText">Thanks to all who responded. <br>
<br>
As suggested by some, I’ve decided to go with installing a mechanical switch up in the master cylinder area.
<br>
I’ll likely remove the hydraulic switch and put a brass plug in its place. <br>
<br>
Can’t see the merit in continuing down the hydraulic path knowing that short term failure is assured.
<br>
I’d like to have more assurance that the brake lights will function when I need them. Also, I prefer having the lights come on at first pedal movement rather than when the brakes are already engaged.
<br>
<br>
The wisdom of the list is always appreciated. <br>
<br>
Thanks, <br>
Bill<br>
