To John, Keith, Larry and other members, I have owned 4 300-Cs, the first one in 1962. All had the brake light switch mounted on the front of the MC. The rubber hose is attached to the bottom and to the steel line. Only one of my early Mopars, a 1957 Dodge, had the switch at the bottom of the MC and a steel line from the front down to the junction block. 300'ly, Gary Hagy, Hamburg, PA (in Albuquerque, NM for the winter, 51 today) In a message dated 1/15/2011 4:26:07 P.M.

The line is easy to remove if you first take it off at the brass junction block. The steel line has some special long fittings, so if you replace the steel line be sure to reuse the fittings. When the 300C came from the factory, the rubber hose screwed directly into the master cylinder. Upon replacing the original master cylinder, the replacement came with a brass fitting which added about 3/8 inch to the overall length of the complete line. If you are replacing the steel line, it is a good idea to shorted it so there is not such a twist (bend)in the rubber line. I have been told that the 300D only has a steel line and no rubber line.

Each one of them indicates the front location of the switch, with the brake line exiting the bottom. And I remember my C switch being on the front back in 1962. The hose NAPA offers must be the one running down from the master to the brake tube tee. The steel tube on that D doesn't sound right.
