Fun Projects brake light switch
Are the vendors no longer selling the amazing Fun Projects brake light switch? I can’t seem to find one anywhere, and they were great! The ones that attach to the transmission cover are a pain. If anyone has an old one they would part with, I’d be interested.

The people down in Texas once said they were but never did seem to follow through. Too bad 'cause it was the best switch around. I love mine!! Hope ya find one somewhere Bill!Belliott3 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2024 7:33 amAre the vendors no longer selling the amazing Fun Projects brake light switch?

If the strap over the tranny cover is cumbersome for you, try the other style of push-button switch at Lang's, no holes, and attaches to the frame rail. I use both and think these styles are even better than the Fun Projects that has the return spring to the brake pedal and the bolt on u-joint bracket.
Lang's Strap type:
Lang's Frame mount type:
Many parts to mount with that Fun Projects, the spring always gets stretched too much, or slips at the wire clamp screw, operates intermittently in my use.

That kit was worth the price for the bracket alone.
