Topic: emergency brake indicator light

[pellets4fuel]

I was just out testing the light and switch I got for this.  The light seems to have a blinking bulb in it.  Is that the correct bulb?  Is it suppose to blink to warn you your parking brake is on, or was it just a steady light?  I really think I'm going to locate or make a bracket to mount it like the seat belt add on light on a Mustang.

Look inside the bulb. A flashing bulb has a bimetallic strip that heats and cools to give the flash when power is applied. Also, read the bulb number on the base. You may need that later.

Reviving an old thread...

The 1967 accessories catalog shows this (attached) as the bezel for the brake light switch (and all of the repros seem to be rectangular as well)... Does anyone know why there seem to be 2 different options ?

There were actually 3 different Parking Brake Warning Lights available in 1967 ;

1) C7AZ-15A852A for Full Size Fords

2) C7OZ-15A852-A for Fairlanes and Falcons

3) C7ZZ-15A852-A for Mustangs

I believe that the reason for 3 different ones was to be able to best fit the different dashes. The emtirely differnt appearances then made it easier to distinguish "which was which.

See attached pictures.

Hope this helps,

Ah ! Makes perfect sense.

I guess that?s what they?re trying to indicate here, but it wasn?t clear to me and they only pictured one of the three indicators.

I guess that also means that the places that are selling reproductions for mustangs, that are rectangular and not round, are incorrect?

( for some reason the website is turning apostrophes into question marks when I post a message?)
     Thanks !

I have lost track of how many of the C7OZ rectangle style that I have seen in unmolested survivor type 67 Mustangs and Shelby's . By contrast I have not across even one of the round type in that same time. Just saying.

I have never seen a car with the round style either
