Are hydraulic brake light switches that operate at different pressures available. My brake lights work, but only if I push the pedal quite hard. Someone told me that my lights don't work, so we tested them and they do, but only with a firm effort. It may be a faulty Switch I realise, but just wondered if one that operates at a lower pressure might be available?? The car is a Jaguar C Type replica, using all Jaguar running gear.

I would guess at a faulty switch.

But no sense asking for one with a lower pressure, unless you know what pressure the current one operates at, and what pressure you want it to operate at.
Or if you can change to a pedal mounted switch as most modern cars would have ?
