    Opinions and Suggestions on transmission

    A C4 can be built to bulletproof however you have no overdrive unless you put in a Gear Vendors OD unit. Its basically some planetary gears w/ a band and a solenoid. A 4spd top loader is about as tough as they com but no OD. Or a Tremec which equals $$$. If its just a weekend cruiser why not go...

    where can I find a brake light switch operated off hydraulic pressure?

    I know for a fact that 67 and earlier VWs had a pressure actuated switch. I'm not sure what the thread pitch was though. It seems like any pressure operated switch would work.
