Re: [FWDLK] Kudos to AAJ ???

Brion - I used a mechanical brake lite switch out of a '75 Plymouth Duster.
Hooks up under dash by brake pedal. A simple way to experiment trying to
hook up switch to pedal or whatever under dash is to position it where it
will work properly and then clamp it with a small c-clamp. Then holes can be
accurately drilled.   John Z
