1932 brake switch location
 

Need information on location of 1932 transmission mount brake switch, I have lost mine while I was rewiring. Have my pickup back on road but no brake switch. I do not have a catalog that shows a B-13480-A brake switch. I think that switch mounts on the corner of the transmission front from what I have found in photos and on Google photos. If you have any ideas or method for installation I would appreciate info. Thanks Bruce
( I did order the 2 volume books today "EarlyFord V8 - 1932 Ford "

there is a slotted bolt and a regular bolt on the front left of the transmission. these go into the tranny not a cross piece.

NOTE: in my photo the spring is hooked to the wrong side on the pedal side. There is a washer with a hole in it a couple of spots to the left of where mine was hooked up in the photo.

In the attached photo (included in the book you ordered), the LHD switch is shown on the left (the RHD switch is appropriately on the right). The forward portion of the switch is attached to the transmission shift lever housing/transmission case in the front left corner with the normal 5/16-18 x 7/8' hex head bolt. The rear portion is attached to the shift lever housing with either a #12-24 or 1/4-20 x 5/16" round head slotted machine screw (and corresponding lock washer) depending on the vintage of your shift lever housing.

The second photo just barely shows the attachment bolts in the lower left corner
