Question Brake Light Switch Thread Pitch or Specs?

Does anyone know the thread pitch or thread specs of our Infamouse Brake Light Switch?

Is it:
10x1.00 or 10x1.25

Also does anyone know at what PSI our OEM switch activates? 20-50 PSI or 50-100PSI +/-?

I have a manufacturer planning on manufacturing a Low Pressure switch for us P-car guys.

This may be our solution for the defective design of the OEM brake light switch.

TIA

10 X 10.00

I wonder if the problem could be in the master cylinder?

10 X 1.0? right? 10MM x 1.0MM pitch?

The problem is the switch, arcing of the current melts the plastic housing causing poor contact over time and more pressure needed to make a good contact for the lights to activate.

The low pressure insures less PSI to activate the switch so it will always work.

I am trying to see if a Diode can be installed to solve the arcing issue but there is another issue to have enough amps to activate the back up switch II

10 X 1.0 is correct.

I thought something was odd when I read it.

Great! Thanks Rudy.

Now i need to put a guage on an OEM switch to find the PSI

BTW I need to return the 1/4" spacer, will come by soon.

Apparently It will not solve my issue. I need to replace the rear torsion plate bushing at a minimum then re-Camber and Align.

Thanks again man!
