Front brake light switch

[suzukix7]

Hi guys,
I want to fit a front brake light switch to my TS150 that runs drum brakes.
Is there a switch that MZ supply for drum brake machines at all?

Cheers Dave

I've also been looking for a solution to this problem for a while - haven't found any 100% satisfactory answers, except this one which comes close:

There's not really anywhere on the single-piece brake lever housing to attach a plunger style brake-switch. The housing that the brake lever mounts into might just tolerate a hole being drilled behind where the lever sits (under the cable adjuster) but doing so on the original DDR-grade aluminium is a serious risk. I like the idea of using a microswitch, but the TS handlebar controls don't have a suitable mounting hole for an improvised bracket...

I'm still trying to puzzling out a suitable mounting bracket, maybe using the lever hinge-screw as a mounting hole. But if you come up with something better and works, let us know!

I know that MZ actually did do a front brake plate for the TS250 ( not the same as your unfortunately) which had the same hit and miss brake light switch built into it. I know it was used for the bikes sent to the USA. I don't know if one was produced for the TS125/ 150 so it looks like you will have to bodge... I mean fabricate something yourself.
