[T3] DOT 5 and brake light switches

[Keith Park]

I dont have pictures, it wasnt photogenic but I mounted NC microwave switch
under the front edge of the brake pedal, if I recall right, this was over 15
years ago now...

Yeah, I've long dreamed of a setup that took hydraulic pressure out of
the equation, but I haven't been able to come up with an elegant
way to do that.

I remember seeing something made by the unique-parts.com guy, but I
can't find it on his website anymore.  Do you have a link to the product
you're thinking of?  From what I recall, the kit they were selling
required drilling holes in the body in order to mount a rather bulky
bracket, which is a pretty big deterrent in my mind.

What's your setup like, Keith?  Got any pictures?
