Looking for photo of a stop light switch installed in a 31.
My dad is looking for a photo of a stop light switch installed in a 31 Model A. I would appreciate if anyone had a photo they would be willing to share.
We can find photos of the part isolated, but not installed. |

Re: Looking for photo of a stop light switch installed in a 31.
This is the diagram from Service Bulletins. Switch mounts to frame center cross member. Look for 3 holes in line with the brake pedal. 2 of these holes will match the hole pattern on the switch, and center hole is for the plunger to protrude through. The brake pedal to cross shaft has a round flat foot on the end which the switch plunger bumps up against. When the brake pedal is depressed, the plunger can move forward and circuit is closed.

Re: Looking for photo of a stop light switch installed in a 31.
The electrical screws are towards running board, I just installed one, twisted and turned it until it fit. Under the car on your back ain't much fun, oh by the way...... I used a stick to push the brake pedal down and hold it away from the switch, found that out after crawling out from under the car umpteenth time

Re: Looking for photo of a stop light switch installed in a 31.
Yes this is the complete book of Service Bulletins https://www.amazon.com/Model-Ford-Se...=UTF8&qid=&sr=
Another helpful guide is the Model A Restoration Guidelines and Judging Standards which is very helpful even if you are not restoring your car for show. Without this book I would have never figured out which wiper motor was correct for my 31 coupe. https://www.mafca.com/cart/index.php?productID=115 |

Just piping up to remind everyone that you can get the Service Bulletins as a searchable PDF file. Also nice to be able to zoom in on the text, for those of us with older eyes.
