Expert Posts: 4042 Location: Connecticut | Originally, the hydraulic switch was screwed directly into the mc. The brass fitting is an adapter to allow a switch with a different width to work with the port on your mc. You can find the fitting at an auto parts store. Question: How do you plan to remove the broken piece from the mc ? Ron | ||

User has resigned from board | hmmm, i ended up stripping down the MC with the broken fitting and installed everything in a spare empty MC i had on my shelf , , murphyslaw strikes again , 2 auto stores i checked had nothing, now on the brake switch mine has two prongs sticking out, and my wires snape over them , the correct brake switch iv seen on ebay that would fit directly into the MC have either just 1 prong with the other prong missing or 2 open prongs not sure why the diff in the attachment, but the one i have is fine i just gotta find a fitting try another store tomorrow thanks again | ||
