Re: IML: Brake Light Switch on '56

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

I hate to say this, but I have never had a problem with air in the 
switch. Every one I have ever replaced worked immediately, and I have 
done a lot of them. I have also adapted incorrectly threaded 
substitutes when necessary by adding a fitting to the master cylinder 
still with no trouble. If you can't make the lights work with the 
original type switch, I would be looking else where for the problem.

Subject: IML: Brake Light Switch on '56

As most of you with older Imperials know, getting the hydraulic 
pressure switch that was the standard setup for activating the brake 
lights on our cars to function properly is not always very easy. Air 
likes to get trapped by the switch and it is difficult to bleed this 
and end up with a leak-free system. Instead of playing with the 
hydraulic switch on my car - which currently is not leaking - I'm 
thinking of adding a "modern" contact switch on the brake pedal. Has 
anyone else done this and have any suggestions as to what switch to use 
or how to fabricate a bracket to hold it in place?
