    stop/brake lights

    I just recently had my front drum brakes converted to disc brakes on my 66'.  I noticed that my brake lights will not go on unless I'm applying heavy pressure.  Is there any fix to this?  Could I swap out the existing brake switch with a power disc switch from a later year?  Thanks for the help.

    Please post the specifics of your disk brake mod.....did you relocate the pedal pin?

    I'm not sure, I'd have to check it out, since I didn't do the job myself.

    Use a 68-70 power disc brake light switch.  It has a lighter spring in it.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Thanks for the info. MustangSteve, I'm going to try it this week with the '68 switch.  Hope that solves the problem.
