Re: Brake Switches was Re: [T3] Back from the Hillclimb!


Thats what I thought... and why I installed the mechanical switch, but I
guess it was a cheap switch.  Ive got a box of switches and Im going to put
a Godzilla switch on there... Im through changing switches every month.   On
the Square, I have the same switches on there since I got it in 88, no
problems.
