TR3A hydraulic brake switch


Recommended Posts

Hi Folks,

Poor old TuRK hasn't been used much since my cousin took it to CLM last year and again a few weekends ago and the brake lights stopped working. I've checked the hydraulic switch and no power was coming out so cleaned the terminals without joy. I last replaced this switch with an original (screw terminals) in 2006 at CLM.

I seem to recall the thread for the switch is tapered, am I right?

Thanks, Andrew

Andrew, I gave up on the hydraulic switch it’s easy and cheaper to put a switch on the pedal bracket near the master cylinder like a TR4. The switches are cheap on eBay and much more reliable 

cheers

Just like mine I more than likely got the Idea from you Bob , you have to lengthen the wires on a LHD

cheers

Thanks Bob,

I see you've got an adjustable MC rod, as TuRK has.

Cheers, Andrew

They all are.

That's interesting, the MOSS catalogue shows a fix rod.

Cheers, Andrew

Take it up with Jeff,:lol: all the original rods were adjustable which is why you should always use the original rod with a new cylinder as very often the new ones are the wrong length.

That saved me telling you I did that page of the Moss catalogue and am sure I put in all 3 types of push rod......
