Strange Speedo problem...

Well done....

on my head, feet in the air

If ever I get around to rebuilding a/the Marlin I'm going to make several removable access panels in the bulkhead so I don't have to do this any more. At least the builder of my car had the forethought to put one in the bulkhead in front of the steering column so should I need to it maybe easier to get at related items. However getting at anything mounted centrally, like instruments, is a nightmare and that's with my dash mounted flush with the rear of the scuttle moulding. I don't know how you guys with dashboards mounted further forward manage to get at anything.

Re: As for the Brake Light Switch

I would caution against making access panels in the bulkhead. In some old editions of Pitstop there is talk of bulkheads cracking and a Marlin supplied reinforcement bracket.
This seems to be more prevalent in non servo cars, where brake pedal pressure may be a bit higher, but it's certainly closely related to the pedal pedal box area.

If you find diving down the foot well difficult you could install a hydraulic switch into the system in the engine bay. But obviously needs extra plumbing work.

It's only when you get into deep sh1t that the wife and/or screwdriver would benefit from some superglue. You just have to apply it in the correct place in the right quantity, but don't leave it lying around for others to use, there might be repurcussions.
If you have a spare switch, you must plan on replacing it sometime in the future. It's not recommended to plan to replace your wife. I did the calculations, and it's not that practical or economical.
