    Brake light switch

    I have a '66 Mustang with a 4 wheel disc brake conversion (Rod & Custom Mustang II up front and SSBC in rear).  My power brake booster conversion is from Trans-Am Racing.  The problem is that the brakes work too well.  I will be stopped before I apply enough pressure to activate the bake lights.  I have tried several early Mustang brake light switches for both drum and disc brakes.  Does anyone know if I will have the same issue with the Mustang Steve booster/brake conversion?

    Re: Brake light switch

    It is possible you might have that problem.  I have had the brake booster on my 66 for nearly 20 years now, and the lights have worked properly all this time...  Until this last week.  Apparently the switch is getting difficult to operate and has the same symptom as yours.  I will be replacing it with either a 68 power brake switch or a Fox Mustang switch.  The Fox switch uses a different wire connection but otherwise should work.

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