Brake light switch
Someone mentioned a brakelight switch earlier but I cant find the thread so here is an idea I had that I will give a try. There is a brake light switch that is part of a banjo bolt that will screw straight into the brake master,its available in all the common brake pipe threads and there is a banjo brake pipe adaptor on the good old mini. Bring the two together and there is no need for a tee or seperate switch. those banjos are on quite a lot of leyland cars like sherpas and mini`s. A lot neater and cheaper
Edit. a better picture of one of the banjo`s ,This one is on a range rover Bob

Would you then just continue the brake pipe from the banjo?

Yes, just continue from the banjo union.

I used one on my quad when I added brake lights, only cost about £10 from eBay and that was some obscure pitch thread
Seems like a good easy idea |

These brake light switch banjo bolts are originally designed for motorbikes, so available threads are M10x1.00, M10x1.25 or JIC3/8x24.

surely its easyer to fit a equal tee into your rear brakline and screw a hum drum hyd switch from a mini (imp) or vw (metric)
all in for about £10 m10x1 is a metric brake pipe size but banjos are not that common on car stuff |

This is a candidate for the idea. Skov already has the banjo on his brake master so he could have just got the switch. Job done, now there is a tee there with pipe and fittings with an air trap at the tee. Bob

That picture looks familiar :-)
I wont bother changing it now, but i do wish I'd seen these things 6 months ago! |

Turn the tee piece 90 deg to the right and fit the switch to face down.
Definate air trap the way it is.

I'll wait to see if it's a problem first.
I've already filled the system with fluid, so I don't fancy changing it unless I really have to! |
