Where's the light switch?



Esteemed Digestives
Having finally put down the cash to get my 1969 105 Coupe back with the prop
and UJs done, I'm now informed by a number of exasperated fellow motorists
that my brake lights don't work. This isn't actually true, they just don't
work until you really stand on them. I've cleaned the contacts in the light
clusters, but no joy so I thought I'd adjust the light switch, but cant find
it. I've got the floor sprouting pedals, but I cant see anything inside or
connected to the cylinder underneath. My workshop manual is coy on the
issue, any ideas?

Many thanks

Hmmm... it's been a long time, but if I remember correctly, my 69 1750 US Berlina had some kind of pressure switch actually in the brake system.. I'm vaugely remembering something like a T fitting with the hydraulic lines going thru it.. but I might be wrong. No recollection where, either.

I'd start tracing the lines from the MC and see if you run into it. Hopefully it's something you can clean or open up to get working eaiser..
