Don,
I fabricated a bracket to attach to the brake pedal and install a standard
GM brake switch. The upside is that it allowed the adjustment of the
switch. Then made a two-wire harness to the original pressure switch and
hooked it in parallel to the original connection. It can easily be
removed and is well hidden. I simply touch the brake pedal, and the lights
come on.
