Hey gents, quick question. Anyone know which brake light switches are fitted to a 1977 westy deluxe. 2 or 3 pins? I am pretty sure it will be 3 pin but don't really know. Hoping someone here will know so I dont have to jack it up and take off the splash panel to have a look.

If your bus has a dash warning light it should have 3 terminal switches, either way the 3 terminal ones will work on a 2 terminal system too.

3 Pin.
Unless your bus has belly pans across the middle, you dont need to take anything off to get at the brake switches on the master cylinder.

yup its got the dash light (though the damn thing didn't tell me anything when only one of the switches had died, isnt that what its for!?!?) and yes I do have the full belly pans (ba6). hadn't even occured to me that I could just order the 3 pole units and it would work either way but it does make sense. I will do that. Thanks for the quick reply's
