brake light switch connector - '53F100
I can find the stop light switches that screw into the master cylinder for F100's from 1940 - 1966 from a lot of places, but I need the pigtail connector that goes over the two buttons and can't find that.
Anybody know who's got them?

By chance are the ones at the end of the switch that you have flat, or round?
Reason that i ask is that some are useing the Harley Davidson brake Light Switches, as they are compatible with the D.O.T. 5, or silicone Brake Fluid, where the originals are not they for some reason, in time tend to leak.
The Harley ones will fit right into the Ford M/C, and you have to make up or use the flat type connectors.
personly myself I have never used the Harley ones but some of the Ford owners around here have. So I am relaying this on their say so.

The fittings on the back of the switch are like flattened mushrooms and measure approx. .218" across the head of the mushroom and the edges of the flattened mushroom are almost sharp. A blue female bullet connector doesn't come close to fitting. I'll poke around a shop that carries yellows, etc.

Sounds like the pins on your switch are different than mine. They're hard to describe, but using the mushroom image...mine are like tall narrow topped mushrooms--much the shape of the male bullet type connectors.
You may have to get a harley pigtail (if the short fat mushroom shape is that of the harley switch), or even solder and heat shrink.
Good luck!
