Re: Brake light switch

Like Yossarian19, I used a hydraulic switch from an '81 VW/Porsche/Audi (and many other years):

From left to right, this pic shows the check valve (blue), the pressure switch with rubber boot on it, then my proportioning valve.

Here's a link to the pressure switch at NAPA, p/n SL159:

...and a link to one currently on Ebay (search "VW Brake Light Switch"):

The switch has both a normally closed and a normally open contact.

The boot p/n is 111012199387. Mid America Motorworks has them at:
