i went for the old fashioned option as i thought the pressure one needed to be on the master cylinder and needed a double banjo with a pressure switch and couldnt find one, however ive since found out how thick i am and the can go on the brake cylinder at the end of the circuit, ive recently done a disc conversion so may upgrade to a pressure switch soon, this meaning i can change my brake arm to match the clutch one and also make the leverage point half inch higher to reduce the brake travel, you can just see in the first pic i fitted the switch to the lever as i had limeted space fo it  New Boy, new build and this was travel with drums theres 10mmish more with the discs, so changing the switch then lever will reduce this again  New Boy, new build |

Yeah, Goodridge sell double length banjo bolts with a hydraulic brake light switch built into the top. I'v got one fitted to one of the rear brake calipers on my Reliant trike build.

Wouldn't have thought it'd make any difference, but I'm not an engineer. The front & back brakes on my truck are obviously linked, (dual circuit but working off one pedal), &, as pointed out recently by Mr Kapri, as my rear brakes start to bite first, the switch should be in that circuit so it comes on soonest.

I had one line going back from the master cylinder into a 4 way splitter then one lnie to each wheel and the fourth had the switch in. Was a small standard brass fitting that had a hole in the centre to bolt it on
