Brake Switch
The Best Brake Switch
We call it that because our customers say it's the best. This adjustable, mechanical switch helps you by getting rid of those undependable hydraulic pressure switches that burn out every year (or more often!). This switch will last because it uses self-cleaning contacts to prevent the carbon build-up that destroys hydraulic switches. Its adjustable design allows it to fit most pre-1960 vehicles, customs and many other later models with through-the-floor brake pedals, no additional brackets needed. And it's waterproof. Stainless hardware, connectors and instructions included.

If you're using halogen taillights or conversions, we recommend that you also use a brake switch relay such as our #L07-40 to handle the high current and to take the load off of your brake switch.

The "TattleTale" TM
Pulsing Panic Stop Brake Light System
You want people to see that you're stopping... ESPECIALLY when it's a panic stop situation! Our "TattleTale"TM System does exactly that. An inertial switch (which is adjustable by you, using our installation bracket) detects panic stop situations and reroutes the brake signal through an electronic pulsator. Under normal braking situations the brake lights react normally. When hard braking occurs, the lights pulsate. Great for 3rd brake lights or systems up to 60 watts (5 amps). Simple and easy to install.

Safety Product of the Year Award by the National Street Rod Association
Watson's StreetWorks is awarded the prestigious New Safety Product of the Year Award by the National Street Rod Association.

"The NSRA New Product competition has always been my favorite activity of each season," said Steve Watson. "It allows everyone to showcase their new products to the street rodding world. And to have one of our new items chosen as the best new safety product is extremely gratifying. We want to thank the NSRA and all of the people involved with this program." Their winning product, the "Tattle Tale", senses a panic stop situation and reroutes the brake light signal through a pulsator, causing drivers behind to be immediately alerted to the panic stop situation.

Rod-Bits:
The Adjustable, Mechanical Brake Switch that you see on this web page was one of our very early products. It grew out of our own need. After changing four burnt-out hydraulic brake switches in a single year, I knew that there had to be a better way to go. We started with a high quality mechanical bus brake switch with 2-1/2 times the electrical rating of the hydraulics. We articulated the arm so that it would be adjustable and added a nylon roller to allow it to be mounted "next to" the brake pedal. Add the stainless steel mounting hardware and connectors and we had a complete, ready to install replacement. That was nearly 20 years ago but it is still one of our good sellers. Good enough to have been copied by others who claim to be "originators" and "manufacturers". Today, our switch is still American Made - the switch, modifications and assembly are all USA - most of it done right here in Connecticut. Theirs? We understand that it comes from China.
Then in 2008, we came out with the TattleTale Pulsing Panic Stop Brake Light System. It also originated from personal need - the need to know that we were doing everything possible to get the driver behind us to see us stopping. The National Street Rod Association liked it well enough to recognize it with their "Best New Safety Related Product of the Year" Award. Thanks, NSRA. We are very proud to have won this prestigious award. But maybe even more, we are proud to know that our products, ideas and efforts help to make the lives of our customers easier and safer. We are very proud and pleased about that.
