GT185 Brake light switch spring fitment ??

Post by Stats45 »

:?
Recently bought a semi dismantled 1977 gt185 & one stupidly minor thing that's driving me nuts because I can't figure it out is WHERE does the brake light switch spring fit onto ??

There is a small drilled hole in the back of the pedal at about the correct length but hooked into here the spring rubs on the frame - ???

There is also a hook welded onto the pedal but is way too far away for the spring to reach ? Also, if not for the spring what the hell os the hook for ??

:cry: HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does this help? If you have the correct long spring, it looks like it hooks to that hook you talked about.
