Brake lever not activating the brake light

[fyarl666]

Yes...the spring has to hold the U shaped bridge to the two contact rails or it wont make good contact..if at all. I have used the Ebay ones that I linked to and they are quality kits. I took the pin out of one of the plastic things and used some springy rubber to put there to act as a force to make it connect. This can be a temp fix till you get the kit in. Also note that the U thing has little dogs that snap into the black plastic things sides. You may need to gently spread the U thing out so it stays put..but yet can go in and out a tad..follow me???

Yeah, sounds good. I'm sure that missing spring is the problem with the peg not contacting the waffle board properly. I'll try to find some small springs at a machine shop to see if that solves the problem, but if not I'll get the rebuild kit from the eBay link you provided.

Thanks for all the info!
