Any Source For 164 Brake Switch??? 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be Gary Innes on  Thu Aug 28 00:29 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Greetings All!!!
I'm looking for the brake pressure warning switch (#679938) for
my '71 164 (also used on 140/1800}. This is the switch that screws
into the brass valve body just below the master cylinder. I've got
several used samples--I want a new item. U.S.& Canadian dealers
say, "Sorry--NLA". Some parts suppliers claim to have it, but when
the package arrives, it's the wrong type. Hard to believe that an
important safety-related item would simply cease production
everywhere! Anybody got some NOS sitting on their shelves???
If so, can I buy one from you???
Also, a caution for fellow carburetted 164 owners; don't buy
the air filter marketed by the the Crosland Corp. (#779). The
dimensions are incorrect. The filter is too 'tall' by about
one-eighth inch, preventing the lid from fitting on the air box.
This isn't the only bogus 164 filter I've encountered. A brand
called 'Pro-Gauge' is also wrong. The only major line that I know to
be correct is Wix #42170 (also sold as Big A #93170).
