#1 Brake light switch striker WA
Adam12 Posted on: 2009/10/4 22:56
G'day all,
The striker plate (for want of a better word) on my brake pedal appears to have disappeared off the face of the earth, I never even realized it was missing until I noticed the brake lights staying on continually. I don't even know what it looks like ?
Does anyone have one lying around in Perth ?

Cheers

Adam

This was a little plastic button that was very brittle & breaks after a few years, probably because of the pressure of the brake lights switch. The easiest replacement I came up with was a 5 cent piece & some insulation tape. Just put the coin over the hole in the pedal & tape it down. The brake lights staying on can drain the battery very quickly.

Adam, I have a sunny coupe sitting in my drive at the moment. It probably has what you are looking for. You are welcome to come and get it. The car will be going to the scrap yard next week.

Adam, I recommend you take Mark upon his offer, but take the whole brake pedal, because the striker will more than likely break when you try to take it out. the brake pedal is on a shaft that goes from the right hand side of the pedal box & is held in by a 8 mm bolt with a 12 mm head & a big circlip on the left hand side of the shaft. It just takes a bit of patience to put the pedal back, cause it's pretty easy to get the pedal out. Mark, all I can say is 'Spare Shell'. Is the coupe an auto? I need the gearbox crossmember from an auto. That's because I went to the Australian Motorkhana Championships on the weekend & now we're going to put the L18 out of the Sunny coupe into my old Sunny sedan & do Khanacrosses & Motorkhana's next year. I'll just get a Stanza 4 speed, along with the L20b I'm going to fit in the Sunny Coupe. Class D for the long wheel base sedanswas won by an R32 Skyline, of all things.

Shell is no good, rear beaver panel has been cut out at some point.
