Brake light switch question?

Post by ECVJeeps »

Does anyone know the reason for the notches in the brake light switch?

The one in the center has two notches on lower side of the shoulders, I was wondering if this had any significance?

Probably just tooling marks from that particular shop when it was made.

top of the head or on the point. Marking is required for bolts and screws with nominal

The left threaded markings does not apply to the photo's switches. They are all three right threaded.
