Technical Brakelight sensor problem

[Stephen Mark]

Hi everyone, ive replaced the main brake cylinder and wanted to use the sensor, that snapped off so I ordered a new one.
The pins broke off the new one ....
I've soldered it and it works.
The sensor however will not screw fully in and is super tight, I wont over do it because I'm sure this will snap too.
Any ideas?

Sounds like the wrong sensor, you will damage the cylinder and if it screws into the master cylinder then a good chance it will leak and be dangerous.
Most things you should be able to screw in with your fingers nearly all the way and just finish off with a spanner etc.

Any issues with brakes and steering should always be without compromise on safety. If its not 100% dont do it.
