#1:  Rear Brake Switch (SOLVED) Author: lagomorph0,  Posted: Mon Jul 05, 2010 10:32 pm I haven't yet seen a photo online of where the spring attaches from the rear brake switch to the brake pedal. I put it in the same hole that the main spring uses, but it seems to be too low, the brake switch is pulled at all times even with the switch adjustment lowered all the way. The only other thing it looks like it could hook onto is the main spring itsself, which seems kind of wierd. So, where is this thing supposed to go? TIA, Lago Last edited by lagomorph0 on Thu Jul 08, 2010 11:28 am; edited 1 time in total

#8:   Author: anaman51,  Posted: Wed Jul 07, 2010 12:25 pm That's right where I wound up putting that spring's lower end. After dicking around with it for a while trying to get it to work everywhere else, I gave up and left it right there hooked to the bottom of the spring. That's been a thousand miles ago or so, and no trouble with it. Dan
