yuo can find the suitable cable including the switch i think and install it according you make the circuit(electrical).the switch of a 71 or later will do the job; it's placed on the cable!
it's an easy diy job.

1970 US T120'S came with a brake lite switch in the cable.
Most replacements currently come with the switch.

Hi,

This link may be of interest? Sparx

I see Carl Rosner are local dealers for Sparx, and it may be worth going along to S. Croydon for a chat? Not a bad ride from Dorking.

Ciao,
Geoff

Thanks guys - I'll geta cable with a switch.
The one I have also needs the handlebar adjuster screwed right out - nowhere to adjust the cable further down - am I correct?

The correct cable should have and adjuster built into it, usually down below the brake light switch. After setting that one up, use the one on the handlebar.

Hope this helps: Jim
