I've had a number of fellow motorists pull me over on the roadside to inform me my brake lights are not working. They are working, but require a bit of pedal pressure to activate the pressure switch. I've discussed with Ted and it appears this is normal. Since the car's so light not a lot of pressure is required to slow the car during normal stop/go driving. Has anyone changed to a lower pressure switch to activate the lights sooner? or a mechanical switch.
Anyone know the thread size on the pressure switch?
thanks
jeff

Everything is working pretty well. Before I had the bias dialed in, they really required a lot of pedal pressure to activate. I'd like to change to a lower pressure switch if possible, the micro switch is an option. I'm just tiring of the one off modifications, I've done a load of them. And trying to get under the dash is nearly impossible.
Anyone know the thread size of the pressure switch?
Can any of you builders check yours for me?
Don't want to take apart my brake system to just to get the thread size.
thanks,
jeff

$75 for the shipping alone on my last small parts order. It'd be great to source it here in the states.
