A week or two ago I bragged how I had fixed the Tiger's stop light switch by taking it out, banging it on the ground a few times, and re-installing it. It did, in fact, work properly for a few days.

Having had quite a fight with the pedal mounted stoplight switch in my '89 Cherokee, I wondered if the design might not fit on the Tiger. Never tried it, though. Stu

Steve - I had exactly this problem. I'm using silicone fluid in my brake system. After replacing the brake switch a couple of times without success, I decided to go to a mechanical switch. The switch

Randy: Excellent info. After your e-mail, I just looked at the brake pedal again, and the way you describe it now makes sense in that the switch goes above the pedal arm, not below the pedal. I had l

Sounds like a lot of you have switched to silicone brake fluid. How do you like it? Is the pedal kind of mushy? Do you have boosters? Requires a complete brake system rebuild and replacement of all l

Randall & Steve, If you are going the mechanical switch route, the early Mustang (and probably all Ford products of the era) used simple brackets and a mechanical switch that was normally closed. Whe

I remember these, simple reliable system, even the Cortina had them. But make sure you get the adjustment right, a mate of mine had a brand new Cortina in which the battery kept going flat - he and t

The best way to make an under-the-pedal switch work is to mount it above the pedal, so that there is no chance of it interfering with the pedal action. Get one from any Japanese car at your local au

I installed one as you describe in July 2001, after having a rupture of the hydraulic switch resulting in loss of braking. I know of another such instance with a Tiger, which resulted in the Tiger r

Years ago I fragged an oil pressure switch and bought such a socket to replace it. They are a great thing - for some jobs it just doesn't pay to not have the right tool. Theo
