Brake light switch

[marc_scirocco at sympatico.ca (Mtl-Marc)]

I have upgraded my '83 MKII brake switch from the MC to the pedal cluster by
using a switch from a mid '80s Audi 5000. I grabbed the switch, plug and as
much wiring as I could pull from the Audi at the boneyard. The hole in the
pedal cluster was already there, so all I had to do was find a nut, and
install it. The wiring from the Audi used the same color coding than the VW
83. I just had to pull the MC wiring inside the car, and connect the new
switch to the existing wiring. It looks stock, and works great.

Cheers.
