Mechanical stop light switch ID- nos

[roysboystoys]

This is in a Standard box marked SLS 2 , comes up 37-40 Pontiac.

But all other listings show a hydraulic switch

Can anyone match this to an illustrated catalog?

Thanks

Hydraulic brakes still need a switch for the lights

I think two years of model A Fords used something similar to that? I forget, which two years used a different mounting configuration, but I have used them to put brake lights on several of my model Ts. It has been a long time, but I saw ones like this in with model A parts.

For whatever that is worth.

I should have stated , " hydraulic operated pressure switch" , controlled by fluid , not mechanical.

I have several Ford mechanical switches , both use two screw holes to mount.

I'll check out Model A

The two screw mount are the ones I have used on a few model Ts, only because they were the ones I found and got. This type I have seen on friend's cars. But I can't be certain they were original to them?

Thanks Layden, I think you got it. 90 % of the other parts I got are Ford, so I'll go with 32-38 Ford truck.

At least it's close enough to be useable.
