I have done some digging and can't find anything on this...
Does anyone have any pictures of a marathon break light switch they have fabed up - installed ?

I Just went to auto zone and get a brake light switch. I will have to get some pic's of the switch I used.

They sell a spring-loaded universal brake-switch for Motorcycles,that would be easy to set up.Dennis-Kirk: K & S Universal Brake Light Switch - 120001($7.99).They mount with a small bracket,then when you press the pedal,it pulls the switch,which is linked to the pedal by a spring,so it doesn't over-travel and damage the switch.They work good,we've used them for years on custom bikes.

I used two switches under the pedal. One to turn on the brake lights, and another to break the circuit when the e-brake was set. Sorry, no pics.

That's a great idea!!
Sounds like a must do for saving the battery

Here's the type of switch I used. I opened them up and filled them with dielectric grease to make them waterproof. The ones I bought were not riveted shut. I mounted them to the brake pedal arm. The long lever allows them to spring a little bit.

Pach90 has the right idea. I saved one from an old Cushman for the same purpose I could see how easy it would be to mount and liked the idea of the spring for override.
