For disc braked TR3/A/B, it's actually a hydraulic pressure switch, and goes on 
the 5-way connector that is bolted to the frame near the right front 
suspension.  I believe the hydraulic connection is 1/8" NPT, and there are two 
clamp-screw type terminals for wires (spade terminals for post-60k cars). 
 Earlier cars with front drums use the same switch, but it's mounted on the LH 
side frame.

Good pictures in the Moss catalog, which you can download from their web site 
at http://mossmotors.com/cataloglayout/marques/triumph/trpage.html (or get free 
with any order).
