Re: 5QT Brake light switch

Duane,
I'm not sure what you mean by an "easy swap"- didn't you used to have a
4ktq?
But, yes, I could swap out the brake light switch on my 5kcst (similar, I
imagine) in about fifteen minutes. It's mounted above the pedal, adjacent
to another switch which has a vacuum line attached. (That one's for the
cruise control.) Supposedly, unscrewing them ruins the thread so they are a
disposable part, but I removed and fiddled with mine with no ill effects.
Only $9? Howdja do that?
HTH,
