    Airbag Car 5 speed swap.. brake light switch?

    I searched-ish.. Now that i've swapped out clutch and brake pedals from an 88 325i/vert the brake light switch won't make contact with the brake pedal. I've tried to adjust it to no avail. How do I make it blend?


    Thanks

    Solution is:
    Remove brake pedal and adjust clevis on brake booster (counter clockwise) while counter holding booster shaft until pedal hits brake switch (reinstall after 2-3 turns to test)

      I taped a washer to the back of the pedal, lol.

          But nah, it's exactly as you described. Undo jam nut and move clevis out until the switch works.

              I seem to remember a different bracket and brake light switch from my brother swap. Its a 90 going from auto to manual. Also saved the harness plug from the donor car because the switch plug was different.
