The brake light switch is mounted to a second distribution box down on the frame, closer to the original location for the BTV master cylinder. It works, and the brake lights come on instantly every time. Again, I don't love the setup, so that will likely have to change later...too many parts open up more possibilities of failure/leaks.

The brake pedal is a whole other problem. "Professional manner" it is definitely not. The brake pedal is out of some other car and is huge. I'm pretty sure it has full range of motion, so that is good. But the whole setup just bugs me.

I do have the original brake parts including pedal, but I'm not sure how the original pedal mounts. I'm not sure if the original mounting location was removed/modified to accommodate this other pedal/master cylinder setup. I also have the original BTV unit, but it looks like it's missing quite a few parts, including the master cylinder. I doubt it could be rebuilt.
