If anyone is interested, I have a picture at
http://www.arts.usf.edu/~musson/triumph/chassis-rfi.jpg which shows the
switch.

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).
