Brake Light Switch for Factory Five Cobra Roadster

[Paul Barnett]

If your brake light switch (located at the brake pedal) ever fails on your Factory Five Racing (FFR) Cobra Roadster, you can get one from Napa Auto Parts for about $15 (part #SL207). They usually stock them.

That's for a Mustang donor pedal box. Lots of the builds in the past with Mustang pedal boxes. But not as much any more. Most now are Wilwood and uses a completely different style switch.

Thanks for your information, Edward. Mine was built in 2002, so I guess I'm old school. Cheers!

Mine failed before the kit was ever finished (Wilwood box). I found a better quality replacement and have been good to go ever since. Can't recall the part number but I found it by searching the forums (EdwardB posted it, I think).

Does anyone know what the part number is for the wilwood petal assembly? Also would this be the same switch needed to add a clutch safety switch?

The one I ordered for the Willwood assembly was an AC Delco D885 GM brake light switch. It works great.

That AC Delco D885 switch is still a good choice. The one in my 20th Anniversary Roadster continues to work fine. For those building a kit in the last couple years, have seen that Factory Five is now supplying a completely different style switch. I haven't checked on the mfg or part number, but looks like this in a picture from the build manual. The plunger adjustment has a wide range much like the Delco switch. Has two sets of terminals. One pair normally open. The other normally closed.
