Unanswered: Manta Brake light switch

2 Questions.....
First is the Manta (1974) brake light switch the same unit as an Opel GT brake light switch?
2nd question....How do you remove the brake light switch from the Manta? I did not see any info in the forums or in the repair manual. I would guess it is just a nut on the rear side of the switch?

Gordy;
I don't think the GT switch is the same, but, you are correct in that there is a nut on the back side holding the switch in on a Manta. There is also a rubber bumper ring surronding the nut, so, that would have to be removed.

Gordy, I can't remember the switch exactly it's been so long since I've worked on my Manta, but have a look here, and see if that might work for you. Hth, Jarrell
