Brake switch problem, again.. sheesh
well, I have a stock pwr brake setup on my 66, with the brake switch on top of the master cylinder. It seems that it has stopped working again, this will be the 3rd or 4th time in about 3 years. Maybe the silicone fluid is killing it?
Im at the point now where i just want to plug that hole and put the switch under the dash. Whats the easiest way to do this? Fab a bracket for mine or a swap from another truck? I have access to a 72 parts truck

Hi Joe, I found a bracket and mounted it and a mid 70s switch under my dash. The later power brake setups use a plunger type switch over the pressure.
I doubt this helps much, but it will work.

i installed the complete braket under the dash on my 66 from a 76 1/2 ton and it bolted right in. i did this to elimate the clutch petal as i went to a C-6 auto. i also changed out the stearing column from the same donor. sorry to say i dont know how it would fit if you still have the stock stearing wheel. just a thought.
