Brake Switch Wiring Connection
 

1 Attachment(s)
The original brake switch on my 49 F1 finally no longer works. In this original switch the prongs have a hole for the wires and grub screws to fasten them.
On this replacement switch how are the wires fastened to the prongs? There are no threaded screws or holes, only 2 grooves in each of the prongs.
Thanks in advance.

You should be able to get some solder-less connectors that you can crimp onto the ends of the wires. Then push them onto the switch.

They're called bullet connectors. Usually, the wires have male ends attached and connect together via a female 'tube' connector. Now you can also just get a female connector type. This is what you need. Commonly available.
