[Rovernet] Brake switch needed [Federal 3500S]

[Vern Klukas]

I think Steve has it figured out. Later catalogs have the part number as 90570522, but it was pretty common to see old rover numbers updated by BL by just adding 90 in front.

It’s also possible that the cheap plastic switch from later XKE Series 3 cars will fit, they are plentiful.

Yours
Vern

I tried the Rover part number in some of the Land Rover vendor parts look ups with no luck, but these references seem to indicate that LU 39218 is the same as the switch used in Series 3 Land Rovers with the brake servo mounted on the pedal box, and that the switch may be the same as used on some Jaguar XKE Series 3's:

The switch never arrived, so I ordered it again, they sent the wrong one, and said it is the only thing they have for this model. I then sent an e Mail to J.R. Wadhams along with a picture of the new switch (left), and old switch (right). I received the following response:
