WTB Regan Brake Switch

Post by Tmooreheadf » Mon Mar 25, 2024 1:26 pm

Does anyone have a John Regan brake switch they don’t need and may want to sell? My switch has gone south ( hogs head mounted style) and the Regan ones are not available at this time. PM me if you have one!
Thanks
Tom

It's not difficult to make your own switch. 1: sheet metal scraps to make a "body" and lever. 2: spring attached to the pedal shaft and the lever. 3: The least expensive push button temporary switch from the hardware store. When you step on the pedal, the spring pulls the lever against the push button to turn on the brake lights.
