Fabricated a bracket from aluminum and used a momentary switch. Works and looks great. Also had the factory Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:29:12 GMT jan http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2455 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2455 Skip the switch.

I have the factory wiring Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:13:57 GMT jan http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2453 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2453 Why do you need the switch? It was not a part of any car of the original era, and there is NO WAY that you will forget to drop the brake in the XI before Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:06:08 GMT z28barnett http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2452 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2452 Hi, 1975 + Parking brake handle with switch - Anybody have one for sale?

Here in Oklahoma the only concern, and I mean ONLY, was that I pay the tax on the kit. I did so Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:22:49 GMT jan http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2446 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2446 Headlight height on my car is 19", and I have 13" wheels. My body is mounted a little higher than yours, and I have more ground clearance.

I wondered how much fun an XI would be with an Alfa 1300 in it, but Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:44:19 GMT spitzerej@... http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2443 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/westfield_eleven/message/2443 For the few that may have missed them.
