Hi, I'm have a difficult time obtaining a brake two pole brake light switch for my 914 here in the uk. It is a Bosch 0343102008 as seen in the photo with the mechanical plunger. It screws into the side of the master cylinder. Bosch have no stock and I have just found one available at a Porsche dealer for £80 which I am reluctant to spend. Mine is leaking and I have tried epoxy to repair it but no luck. I was thinking that there must be pressure in the plunger area when in operation as it leaks and forced past the epoxy, so could I use another two pole pressure switch provided it has the correct thread? (12x1mm I think). Has anyone else replaced their plunger type switch with an alternative? The later cars use a single pole 0343102010 which works in a similar way but I think grounds through the switch body when the plunger is pressed rather than connecting the two poles.
