Brake light switch

[EggsBenedict]

anyone know what the brake light switch is off? Part number? Can't be specific and I've bust mine.

[.Mark]

To be honest not sure what it's off, but when I needed to change mine I got it from Fernies, about a fiver.

The original is off something like a Mini/Metro/Rover - 51590 intermotor.

@Ribol - thanks! Great info!

@.mark - yep, ordered from RG on Tue, not here yet . Stupid tiny part is stopping me driving the car, so I was looking to get it from local motor factors if poss. If I have a spare one, no prob...

Thanks both!

Mine fell apart and I just reassembled it and taped it up until I could get a replacement.

I saw a metal one somewhere that was being offered a s areplacement/upgrade. Might have been Clever Trevor

+1 This is what I did, they are really very basic.

WAIT!

I just realised - what's all this talk of brakes - you shouldn't be using them, they slow you down you know!

If the Griff boys see this we are toast.

ah, I'm toast anyway, I've only got a 400. I've got this brake kit though:

300mm dia x 32mm thick, 4 pots, Hawk pads, SuperBlue brake fluid

So I'll be on the gas longer before having to switch to middle stump...

I have 2 spare and some manifolds

[EggsBenedict]

ooh. don't tempt me .

Actually, back on topic, the switch that was mentioned above fits, but on my car at least, the plunger was too short. Easily fixed with some araldite and a small locknut to pad it out a bit. Without this, I would have had to bend the bracket. Be interesting to see if RG's is exactly the same or different. Mine works how it is now, and it's a stock part at SC motor factors, so it's on the car and I'm happy. Thanks again Ribol.

For a moment there I could see a compensation claim coming my way

Glad you are sorted
