..... I request that you undo that monkey-a$$ setup.

the one with the cut off line hanging out too.

I'm sorry but it looks like a bad idea man.... in a bad kind of way. It's freakin easy to split the brakes.

The first pik was a joke. i saw it at a car show. if your refering to the cut off line on my truk pik its because its not finished. I was just showing how i mounted my brake light switch. hope this satisfies your request.

While the brake line situation has been explained, I don't see any comment or explanation for the soft copper fuel line. There is definitely a reason it is illegal in most states. That is about as dangerous a thing as you can do on an old vehicle. If you still have a copper line for fuel then you need to change it ASAP for your safety and the safety of others. Hawkrod

wow never even thought about copper. I wonder about aluminum lines like they use in airplanes. probably even worse.

Blackagatha - Plumbing lines on aircraft are stainless steel.

I'm mounting a '70 F100 Dual master cylinder on my '66. I'm lost on mounting the brake light pressure switch.

I would like a simple T like on 62galxe's picture but the center tap is another compression fitting not pipe like the switch.

Any help would be appreciated.

Pegasus Racing Supplies I believe sells the correct part also. They've got a lot of cool custom stuff like that.

Im planning on changing mine up. The tee is going away. Im looking at using bajo to inverted flare adapters. I am going to drill and tap one of the banjo bolts for the pressure switch. I think it will be a cleaner looking setup.

Thanks for the help.

I drilled and tapped the center if the IFF Tee to 1/8" pipe and lengthened the MC pushrod 3/4" all is good now.

I like the banjo fittings! I'm happy with what I have. Maybe I'll go banjo when I install power disc's and a the 392 Hemi....
