Stop lights still not working 40 coupe

I had a similar problem this past summer with my ‘40 and got all the great advice as you have. Looked into each one and it came down to worn out wiring in the kidney cluster on the firewall engine compartment. Since I didn’t wish to tackle the complete rewire I elected to run a separate new 14 gauge wire from the stop light switch to the rear and connect to the rear lamps. I made a small jumper wire with alligator clips to see if I was getting power to the switch and I was, so I then ran the new wire bypassing the cluster on firewall. I then took a heat shrink tube and blocked off the old wire and tagged it as old wire. It’s probably not the proper way to do things, but it was Summer and I wanted to drive my car !! My car is still 6 Volt. Good luck !
