Re: Brake light switch- '55 Clipper

The OEM Packard 3-prong brake light switch for TL cars seems especially targeted for failure with silicone brake fluid but the same does not seem to be true of the commonplace 2-prong switch used by just about every other car on the road. Rather than horse around with a mechanical switch I'd just buy the little conversion kit that replaces the 3-prong with a very common standard 2-prong (NAPA SL-134 for example) switch and a little harness and relay which maintains all the correct original functionality. Very inexpensive, hundred and hundreds of these kits in service with no problems that I've heard of. The switch itself and the relay are pretty much hidden beneath the battery and not really visible.
