Hot Rod companies such as Painless wiring and Ron Francis Wiring have low pressure brake light switches. They work in the range of about 20-50 lbs. You may want to try Yogis 800 373 1937, they carry both lines. Good luck Pat

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
Be of Good Cheer

On my 1929 Cord L29, the brake light doesn't come on unless I'm really stomping on the brakes. I have a similar situation in my 49 Plymouth, but not quite as bad.
Does anybody know of a very sensitive hydraulic brake light switch, something that would activate with just barely a touch of the brakes? Preferably something that could be found locally if a guy had the part number or the application.
I have considered installing a mechanical switch on the pedal somehow, but it seems it would be much cleaner and simpler to replace the hydraulic switch with a more sensitive one.
Thanks very much, Joel
