Bob Zetnick Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Does anyone know where I can find a brake light switch for my '29 DA? I've checked Myers and Romar.....also, don't see anything similar at Autozone or O'reilly online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ply33 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Is it a hydraulic switch (typical for Chrysler products of that era)? Got a Chrysler part number? If so you can usually cross it to a current manufactured part. On the Plymouth side of things my cross references are at http://www.ply33.com/Parts/group8#8-58-60 I wouldn't be surprised if part 74185 used on Plymouth was also used on Dodge. If so, that was superseded by part 865336, follow the link for modern replacement parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Zetnick Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 Thank you ply33! I just came across a site that I think you may have started for interchangeable parts and saw that Napa carries one.....I may have to order though. I saw a Hemmings article that said that only 6 types were made over the years...I was just concerned w/ thread size and diameter that fit into master cylinder.

Spinneyhill Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I am sure I saw one on eBay the other day, looking the same as the one on my Dodge 8. It screws into the end of the master cylinder. Is that it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is still possible you could get one locally on pretty short notice. Last time I needed one I went into my local "better auto supply" (the ones with the paper catalogs on the counter in front of a bunch of older folks). Happened to be a CarQuest. They had it on a shelf in the back. Moved since then and the local store to me is now an O'Reilly's rather than CarQuest or NAPA. But I'm pretty sure that if they didn't have it in stock they could get it from the warehouse by the next day if not the afternoon of the day I call them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Zetnick Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 Yes, Spinneyhill...mine does too...just wasn't sure of diameter or threads....I see a couple on eBay too, just not sure of applications that they'd work for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 My uninformed impression is that if it looks right it probably is. You can always ask the vendor to measure it and count the threads. I think most makers used the same kit here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
