Just replaced my hydraulic brake switch. Mine has a typical "T" type brass fitting--this is basically a home plumbing style of fitting. To avoid a real loss of brake fluid when changing out the part I happened to have a brass plug amongst my spare parts/pieces inventory of the the right thread dia. . I removed the old switch, plugged the hole with my finger until I got the plug ready then just inserted it, lost about 2 tablespoons of fluid. Went and got a new switch, reversed the process, installed the new switch, lost just a bit more fluid. Put in about 6-8 tablespoons of fluid to bring it back up to "max" fill level. FWIW

Foosh--how did Jim H wire his switch up? Any Pics?
