[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 117806, member: 58"] Basically Vincent used whatever Miller provided at the time. Ref series A. Looking in my 1939 Miller catalogue, the only brake light switch listed is 29EI which I think went with rear light 29E. This brake switch is a small rectangular in shape with what appears to be a mounting bracket built in that clamps around a tube. I have never seen one fitted to a series A and also the original rear Miller light 35E fitted to series A singles can only take a single filament bulb so only a rear light and no brake light. The replica 35E available today though can take a dual filament bulb and operate as a brake light. I'm not sure exactly when brake lights became a legal requirement in UK but it was sometime in the 1930's so how Vincent ensured the last of the series A conformed I don't know, or maybe they didn't?
