Rupp Brake Light Switch

[Bink]

I need two Rupp brake light switches for disk brakes. Is there an alternate source? There are two on each rear brake assembly.

Part # 12984 and 12985 ( #82 and 82A in diagram)

Thanks for any help and suggestions!

For the engineers - How do these work??

They work by compression, when you squeeze the lever or pedal it squashes the o-ring and the flared metal sections of the "switch" touch. Fox used them as well on the spoke wheel tramps, scamps, and campus and some of the decked out disc brake mini's about '69-on.....just as hard to find :wink: I sold one recently, you can see what exactly you would need to make it function, you also need the longer stud brake caliper for best fitment.

here's the link to the one I recently sold, tried to get some shots of all the parts both sides etc... hope that helps

Thanks Markus! It's really a simple system. I tried to catch your Ebay listing but I missed it ( I was "watching" and missed the notifications on my phone).
