Use Brakelight Switch Upgrade Kit intended for Auto gearbox vehicle! 120-130

Guys;

The manual bracket is mounted on one side only, and overhangs into the pedal box area to locate the switch at the pedal arm...it is easily strong enough to withstand the return spring force of the pedal as it depresses the switch plunger, and so it effectively does limit the pedal return position...but it would have to be checked if it had to withstand any higher force than that from the original pedal spring...and I understand this vehicle is modified here...

The bracket for upgrade of an automatic gearbox vehicle on the other hand is bolted on either side of the pedal box and spans across as shown in the previous post so it would unquestionably be structurally beefy enough to withstand additional force...that is the bracket and kit which I would recommend here...

Cheers from Connecticut (...still not fully recovered from storm Alfred, but getting close...what a darn mess...being out of power for 8 days is kinda like camping (which I don't mind)...only at home (which I do mind)! I'm not complaining...others had it even worse, but that would explain my decreased on-line presence the last couple of weeks if anyone is interested...)
