I sometimes wonder how much harder this project would be if it wasn't for the Internet. It's such a great source of information, and parts. Perhaps the bike should be called the 'ebay special' or something. eBay is an amazing source of parts. I remember many years ago having to go to a bike shop (actually was Bikewise in Abingdon) and searching through several inches of computer print out to find the right parts and then the shop would order it, else having to spend many hours on the phone ringing breakers to ask if they had the bits (and hanging on the phone while they went off an looked somewhere). Also getting hold of original parts wasn't easy either, as bike shops were the only people with the microfiches.
Anyway, I was thinking about brake light switches (as you do...) and the problems of attaching them to the frame (in the case of rear brake light) or how you fit one to a custom front brake lever. So I started a google search in microswitches but it wasn't long before I found out about banjo bolts with built in switches - how great are they? Totally solves the problem in a very neat way. Now just got to work out what size I need...
