      If you cannot get a brake pressure switch that fits  you have two options
fit a contact switch above the brake pedal or use another pressure 
switch  as used in most older british and european casrs
you just need to get fittings to match but you fit them to any part of 
the main brake lines

Actually it is not a tapered pipe thread. It is a straight thread with an inverted flare seat. I have not measured the thread pitch but I think it is?SAE as opposed to metric.?Forest

Thomas,
The valve block is almost assuredly a Euro Ford part, maybe common with a Transit van or something like that...

? ? ? All,
? ? ? I drove my Pantera from Iowa to St. Charles, IL to attend the Great
? ? ? Lakes Pantera chapter's Spring Fling.? I've attended all of these
? ? since
? ? ? the first one three years ago.? As usual, it was good to see old
? ? ? friends and meet new ones.? I believe Jon Haas has attended all of
? ? ? these events to showcase his electronic products designed for the
? ? ? Pantera.
? ? ? It is always enjoyable to talk to Jon and see him demonstrate his
? ? ? stuff.
? ? ? This year it was fortuitous for me to have Jon attend because for
? the
? ? ? first time in 30 years I had car trouble.? The car ran great on the
? ? ? drive to St. Charles and it ran with no problems to the cars and
? ? coffee
? ? ? event we attended on Saturday morning.? Come Sunday morning when we
? ? are
? ? ? getting ready to leave the hotel for breakfast, my car wouldn't
? stay
? ? ? running.? It started immediately and then died.? Lots of cranking
? ? ? followed with no start.
? ? ? Dave Doddek (GLP chapter president)? immediately came to my aid to
? ? ? diagnose the problem, as he is prone to do.? He pulled a plug wire
? ? and
? ? ? determined there was no spark. He checked for moisture in the
? ? ? distributor cap (there was none), he checked for loose connections
? on
? ? ? the firewall (there were none)? he looked at the fuse box for
? ? anything
? ? ? out of the ordinary (there wasn't).? By this time Jon joined in the
? ? ? investigation (after all....I was holding everybody up to go to
? ? ? breakfast).
? ? ? During Dave and Jon's troubleshooting, I was able to start the car
? a
? ? ? couple of times but then it wouldn't start afterwards.? Dave had
? ? ? mentioned that the terminal block under the steering wheel column
? can
? ? ? cause problems and after looking at it, it was determined that that
? ? was
? ? ? the source of my intermittent ignition problem.? My terminal block
? ? was
? ? ? corroded so bad that the screws holding the wires could not be
? ? turned.
? ? ? Jon said he usually carries that terminal block with him but he
? left
? ? in
? ? ? such a hurry for the event he didn't pack any.? He then proceeded
? to
? ? ? make a field repair using a combination of a smaller connector and
? ? ? spade connectors to connect the wires without the terminal block so
? I
? ? ? could drive the four hours home.
? ? ? As you are all aware, working under the steering column with the
? seat
? ? ? in is not very comfortable and there is not much room to work with
? ? the
? ? ? short length of wire.? Jon spent at least 30 to 40 minutes on his
? ? back
? ? ? fixing my car, which worked perfectly after he was done and got me
? ? home
? ? ? without incident.
? ? ? The help and assistance offered by Dave and Jon were greatly
? ? ? appreciated by me and demonstrate why I love being a part of the
? ? ? Pantera family.
? ? ? Oh...and by the way.? Jon also diagnosed that my brake switch on
? the
? ? ? shuttle valve was the reason my brake lights didn't work (as I
? found
? ? ? out driving to the cars and coffee) by another Pantera owner
? driving
? ? ? behind me.? Is this switch special to the point I need to get it
? from
? ? ? an vendor or is it a common NAPA part?
? ? ? Tom
