Thank you, that is exactly what I wanted, a part number, I will try again. Did you havr any trouble removing the faulty part? I am having difficulty getting faulty switch from the little 4 way brass block? Dave M. |

They just unscrew maybe vise grips just support the t piece or you may kink a line if it turns. |

In think it might be a case of cutting it off and using an easy out drill bit, it is very tight?? I have soaked the spare I have in WD40, still wont budge, I will keep trying. Thanks again. |

Picking up the brake light switch in the morning, a spare also, just in case of another failure, as this one is the second time! Thank you for your assistance, thank you to Bellett.net also!!! DM. |

Hi Dave, The switch generally seems to weld itself into the brass union. I usually swap the assembly. If you need a union with switch removed I have one I can mail you. Cheers mate, Matt. |

No worries mate, glad you're sorted. Surely Marg will push the pedal for you?? I know what you mean, Brake fluid! Stinky stuff. And it doesn't seem to matter what I do, it always gets all up my arms!  I've just re-kitted the wheel cylinders on 'Julius' (Roman Red). Glad thats done.Cheers, Matt. |

Hey Matt, I now have a leak at the union under the brake light switch, I will see how I go trying to fix it, if it ends up cracked or thread stripped somehow I might take you up on the union offer if you still have the spare please? I have tried to tighten it up a tiny bit more to see if the leak stops, same deal you get a bit worried about stripping the thread doing it up too tight, then when it is not tight enough the damed thing leaks, catch 22 eh!!!

Yeah, its a fine line.  What if I send it anyway, then if theres a crack or something, you'll have it in your hand. Can't remember your address though, you might have to send it to me. Cheers, Matt. |
