Brake light switch
#1
I've got the Lucas sliding brake light switch on my 37 Ruby, the spring I think isn't strong enough to pull the slider fully,  lost its springyness ! 
Can anyone tell me what size spring I need and where to get a replacement from ?

Before you go the spring route, try a little spray lube on the slider, they get dry & a spot of corrosion on them & they hang up and the brake lights stay on - Just fixed the one on the '28 Ford and all it took was a little WD40

If the lubricant doesn’t work just shorten the spring, possibly using a cable tie
I am always interested in any information about Rosengart details or current owners.

Thanks guys,  I've just found out there's a u clip on the brake rod that slides enabling the spring to get looser or tighter depending.
