Is this on your '27, your '49 or?

I bolted my dimmer switch to the floor just a week ago. There should be holes through the floor that correspond to the holes in the switch. It would be easier to fasten the 3 wires to the switch before the switch is in place, unless you have long skinny fingers.

The brake light switch mounts so that the switch arm is held against the pedal arm. When brakes are applied the switch arm swings forward to close the contacts.
