Quite a while ago, someone wrote about a NAPA alternative for the hydraulic brake pressure switch for the rear tail lights on a sidescreen TR. I know I made a copy of it but I can't find it now that I need to replace mine which stopped working a few days ago.

Could someone let me know the NAPA part number.

I looked up NAPA on-line and couldn't find it, so I called their 1-888 number and the lady who answered told me it exists and then my local store told me that their warehouse is waiting for some and it'll be about two months. They sell the SL144 for $17.95, about twice the price as Moss who have them in stock.

Aloha Don,

The last one I bought was $10.49 US. Here is the page from the NAPA website:

$11.69 US.
