gas tank clamps and brake switch

[birdacre]

i ordered a brake switch that bolts on transmission cover. seems to be made for a 3 speed. my truck has an updated 4 speed. what do people use with 4 speeds? also question number two. the clamps that hold cowl and gas tank together, are they used with the existing bolts and nuts OR are they spaced in between the bolts and nuts? i have heard both methods used but would prefer to find the correct one.

neil, i clicked on link and it would not open? not sure if the problem is on my end? did you have any ideas about the clamps? are they bolted independent of the perimeter bolts? or do they use the same holes? hope all is well. kevin

my truck is a Oct 29 with the 4 speed. I used the BB13480 stop light switch, and a AA13510B finger that clamps to the shaft from the peddle
and presses on the switch . ( pt #'s out of Mac's catalog) The switch mounts on the cross member after the trans and short shaft where it connects
to the drive shaft . As for the gas tank clamps, when i took my truck apart ,the bolts and clamps went thru the holes. Mac........
