Brake Light Switch - help please!
Discussion
Hi folks,
Long story short, one of the plastic nuts which holds my brake light switch to the bracket has broken. In for a penny, in for a pound, I thought I'd replace the whole unit as they're quite cheap and it wouldn't do any harm.
After a lengthy google search, looking for Ford and Vauxhall parts, it turns out the one fitted to my 2000 Chim 450 is from a Talbot Express / Fiat Ducato! Is this right?!! All the TVR parts suppliers I've looked at don't stock this part - has anyone else had the same complication? Should i replace it with a different part?

Thanks,

The switch is also used for the handbrake switch

Original was from a peugeot 205 iirc, the fiat one you list looks like a bit of a generic "one size fits all" and may well have been replaced in its lifetime.
It is a simple push to make switch and many switches could be used providing the plunger operates enough to make the circuit when the pedal is pushed.
