[T3] T3] Brake Lights...

[Phil Hof]

After checking wiring and bulbs, check on the orifice (port) sizes. 
The small ports are for the brake lines.  The small ports cause a little resistance in order to make bleeding better/easier.
The large ports are for the switches.  The large ports are to make them react quickly.

It also describes how you may need to change a hard line if the ports are not like your old master.

> Recently replaced Master Brake Cylinder ('71 T 3). ? Brakes work fine....but belatedly, noticed that the brake lights don't work.?? Is the likely cause that the electric plug in the Master Cylinder is faulty?...or that it's not in the proper hole in the cylinder??? Are both of those electric plug things the same?

What if I switch electric plugs on the master cylinder to see if the emergency button doesn't light...thus showing that an elec. plug is shot??? I don't want to just switch the wires: they "remember" where they were when removed....one reaching further than the other.
