I have an original brake light switch out of my 48 willys pickup truck. Let me know if you want it?

John,
I found this copy of the Standard one, from the you know who country, that says it is compatible with silicone fluid, so I ordered one.? It's easier to get to with the steering column out, as it is right now.? The rest of the braking system is fine with? silicone.??
I resent the "ancient technology" remark, after all, I'm the same age as the wagon...
As long as the size of the nipple on the switch fits you can use any one
you can find. Heck, you could even use a pipe thread adapter in a pinch,
if there's enough room. Go to one of our local auto parts store with the
old switch in hand and see what they've got that'll work with silicone
brake fluid. It's nice to be able to read what's on the box before
buying. Too bad Knecht's closed! <sigh> Of the remaining stores I've
found that the counter people at NAPA seem to know what they're doing:
Is the silicone brake fluid compatible with the other ancient technology
in you brakes?

The slower the speed, the more interesting the shape; that's a
truism in boat design. Low speed requires a degree of symmetry
that must be discarded the moment hull speed is approached or
exceeded and that's always seemed to me an aesthetic loss that
is difficult to recover... (Paul Gartside)
