Brake light switch set up.
 

If any of you fine members with a 30 - 31 have a spare moment , could you snap a pic and post so I can see the set up of the brake light switch ? I have to get busy and get some brake lights and I want to make sure I get all that's needed to complete the set up. Thanks.

I'll look for a picture but all you need is the switch and 2 mounting bolts, lock washers, and nuts.
The button on the rear of the brake rod pushes the switch off.

The brake light switch connects to the rear of the center crossmember with two bolts. The brake pedal rod has a special end that releases the plunger on the switch when the brake pedal is depressed. Sorry, I don't have a picture stored at this time.

A few pics below that might help.

Suggest you do a search on 31 brake light switches . A lot of problems with repro 31 brake light switches . I gave up on my repro 31 switch and used a 29 . Totally different design .

Usually even the old rusty originals still work. the repros are junk and I've never seen one that worked. I think that Berts has NOS and good used 30-31 brake light switches

You guys are the best. I've got it all figured out now. Until I saw the pic's and read the descriptions I could figure it. The brake rod had old gunk build up on it. It back part of the rod which I now see activates the switch just looked like a bent piece that someone had hammered on. Now I see that it has a special sort of hammer head looking end on it. Now it all comes together. Thanks guys for the help. I've got it under control. James.

Tom Wesenburg has posted before with info about making the repro 30-31 switches work. I've never had much luck with the repros . As far as I know, the one on our roadster is the one that came on it when it was new. I bought NOS 30-31 switches back in the ninties for twenty dollars a piece. They"ve went up but I 'll bet that Berts still has some.
