Re: brake light switch

Re: brake light switch
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

brake light switch
The not very old switch died, ordered a replacement, got a Standard products SLS 25 switch, put it in before noticing it said "not approved for use with silicone brake fluids". Which I use.

Update and it never ends department
The redone Fhead 4 is in. Runs great. Nice to have working gas and temp gauges. The oil pan leaked more than I like, on one side of the engine. This was the side where the machine shop, working

Dan,
You're wise, no doubt, to stick to factory design... but I have a pension for tinkering and constant "improvement" that follows from my own physical plant.? Most anatomical improvements

Re: Wheels and measurements
Pavel,
My mom had a 144 Volvo in my high school days, nice car. Tried to talk her into a BMW 2002, no luck. Wise mom.
I looked over the bearings, and I couldn't find any problems. And, they're

Re: Wheels and measurements
Dan,

How dumb do movies think we are
Watching a series on Netflix called Dark Winds. Guy walks out to this
jeepster and it blows up. They show it after the explosion and it's turned
into a later cj 5.

Re: Not a good willys day
Sorry to hear about the fire, Jay. You're lucky the flames didn't get to more of the wiring, or worse. I once had to completely rewire a Morris Minor from the firewall forward after an engine
