While I have everyones attention and sympathy here, can any one tell me the thread on the hydraulic switch for operating
the brake lights? I know many have suggested going to a mechanical switch but I'd prefer to stay with the original system if I can. I've found a source for hydraulic switches but I suspect I'll have to get an adaptor and before I pull off the old one, I want to be ready to go with a new one in hand. I'll share the source if it works. Thanks all.

I replaced my head light gear without taking out the radiator. There is a splash shield in front of the right front tire that comes off and that will give you enough room to get to the assembly.
