[T3] Brake Light switch

[topnotch at nycap.rr.com (Keith Park)]

I put one on the Notch after the DOT5 ate up all my
pressure switch stock.  I mounted mine to the floor but this looks
better, IF it stays adjusted.

I've considered doing this myself.  Be sure to show us pictures of what
you come up with in the end! There have been a few folks selling kits
over the years.  This one is currently available on TheSamba:

I seem to recall Keith or Bob did something like this in the past,
using a... microwave switch?
