My X-Reg Chimaera needs a new Brake Light Switch… any ideas where I could buy one?

Thanks.

I have just changed mine on a Griffith a pig of a job.

You really need a car lift to gain access.

New switch here:

I decided to modify the bracket that actuates the switch by inserting a bolt, the actuation is then adjustable.
By reducing the distance from the bracket to the switch I could then use a mini switch that is a third of the price

I replaced the one on my Chim (after I broke it whilst removing/replacing the brake and clutch hydraulics)
Cost around ten quid from Eurocarparts, and fits to the bracket on the pedal box. I just measured it against the one that came out.

That Griff thing looks like it's got something to do with the handbrake?

Must get my eyes tested, read brake switch for handbrake switch!
