austin ruby brake light switch
#1
Could somebody advise as to how the switch is connected to the pedal. Currently a piece of plastic coated wire is twisted around the pedal & crudely pushed through the switch.
Thank you.

Paul,

The clamp (or in my case a crude plate, with a hole in very slightly larger than the rod) can be slid along the brake rod to ensure the spring is under the correct tension to operate the switch.

Paul,

This is a clamp and spring setup - I have others (in storage just now) that have an extended part to the clamp with a small hole for the spring to clip into.

Hi Ruairidh,

Thank you so much for your assistance. Once I can determine the method of securing the spring to the brake rod I will be able to select the correct replacement.
This may be in a day or two as I have the Ruby garaged elsewhere. I will revert with my findings.
Once again many thanks.
