where to buy brake lite switch
I looked in NOS vendor Len Dawson's catalog (dated 2004), but it's not listed. To ask him about current stock, one has to Fax him or send him a postcard.
No listing in the copy of Bernbaum catalog, and I don't relish the idea of phoning them to inquire.
I haven't tried Napa or Jeff Carter yet.
There was a business in the next town called Hagen's...they had everything from the '20s to '60s, but a fire last year wiped the business out.
If I can't find one easily, I will probably add an under-dash switch.

I tried CollectorsAuto Supply's online catalog.
They list the correct switch,in three different places...1 @ $50, 44 @ $40, and 22 @ ?, all NOS. (Shipping is $10-12 extra!)
1-888 772-7848. I'll call them when I have some time.

Roger - If you are talking about the switch that goes on the mastercylinder I get mine from NAPA. It doesn't have to be Plymouth specific as long as the threads are correct. It hardly takes any pressure to activate the switch.

Re: where to buy brake lite switch
Thanks guys!
Kanter, on-line, I amaze myself at how old habits die hard...I thought of Kanter but didnt have a current catalog, so put that thought aside. The oline listing doesnt SPECIFICALLY state they fit "Plymouth", but it's a definite possibility. Total cost would be $39.05.
I'll see if Napa can come in lower than that.
I'd prefer to lose a little brake fluid installing in a replacement switch, than buy a modern switch, then have to fabricate a bracket and re-route the wiring.

I have the Mopar Part number (1604989), but Bernbaum's price is Rock-Bottom!
I guess I need to focus my attention his way!
Thanks!
