guys,
i bought this new brake light switch for my 57.
http://www.classicparts.com/1955-59-Stoplamp-Switch/productinfo/53-012/
how do i connect the wires to the 2 posts ?

the one currently on my truck has thread like ribs on the posts, that the wires, with some sort of crimped fitting, slide onto the posts.
the posts on the new switch are fatter, so i need to know what i need to attach the wires to the new switch ?

thanks much

take the switch along to a place that has a good selection of crimp type connectors, you'll find a butt splice connector that will fit the switch pegs well, crimp the other end onto the wires - or maybe a snap connector like this, which is more like original
