brake light switch part number

[stevep]

Hi all,

I need a new brake light switch - hydraulic - for my 58 SWB. original part number seems to be 268963 but I can't find any listing.

So will it be a standard part that I can buy at a local parts / brake place?

or this says a IIA - is it the same??

I just did a search on the STC1698 number, and the info you have on the bottom is correct (They also referenced the 560775 number as well). And the pic is the same as well.. So if you order the STC1689 part number you will get the correct one. And you should be able to get it at any LR part places.

I did a search on some of the supplier sites here, and none of the part numbers came up. Sounds like getting it from the UK is the only option..

It's nice to be original, but the hydraulic switches have been associated with numerous electrical fires in series Land Rovers.

thanks Wolf

I have cheecked a couple of sites & they have the same part for a Series 2 & 2a so I'll give it a go.

found one site in Aust which has it for $22.

thanks
