Stop Light switches

Have the pressure activated stop light switch. Actually have three of various ages new to very old. I can jump the wires and get brake lights. The truck hasn't been driven in a few years and the rigged hydro boost system was replaced with a CPP kit. Anyone know how much pressure it takes to set one of these off ie. can they be tested. Previously it was plumbed in one of the front brake lines now it's t-offed the proportioning valve.

Run the wires thru the firewall and install a pedal activated electric brake light switch.
I added one on my 63 Uni.

@instig8r63, how did you wire that? That is very interesting.

I just ran the brake pressure switch wires through the wall, extended them and hooked them up to an electric brake light switch mounted to the pedal assembly.
