RMC List - FC brake light switch - more

[JOHN DAWSON]

add'l info:
the GM p/n for the FC is 1993317  
the cross-refs for that are AC Delco D881, Standard SLS-65, Wells DR-407, Echlin SL-175, but those are turning up as NOS on eBay or n/a or Clark's.
as I recall, the early Chevy truck version will work, but with some modifications possibly required as the 1993317 has an off-set bracket
Repair may the quickest route, then Clarks, then eBay...

Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive...
