FS: 56-57 Brake Warning Parts
I was planning to use these on my 57 until I found that the car came from the factory with no options. The car had the jewel installed when I bought it and I located the rest of the parts. So it is all here:
The switch has been verified good and has the original screw and nut.
The tungsol flasher is the correct one with 650 stamped in white ink which is difficult to show in a picture.
Here is a closeup of the jewel.
Individually, the switch and the flasher can run $300 by themselves. I'm asking $350 OBO shipped to lower 48 for everything.

Mark, out of curiosity, how did you learn that your car was never equipped with any of the options it is currently equipped with? You must have been able to do some pretty good tracking of previous owners.

The 57 and earlier C1s were factory equipped with an option fuse block (pc board with fuse positions) only if it had electronic options such as a radio, heater, and this brake warning option. I have another FS post where I'm selling one I bought earlier thinking it was missing from my car. When I stripped the interior out of my 57, there was no trace of any holes ever being drilled in the driver's side firewall where this board normally mounts according to pictures of other cars and the AIM. There were lots of other clues. The brake warning jewel above was the only item installed with wires hanging. There was no evidence of a switch like the one above ever being mounted to the e-brake shaft and there was no pin present to engage it. Even though my car had a later radio added, there were other signs like no radio sheilding or capacitors, incorrect antenna location with no ground, etc. My heater also was installed wrong versus factory which was another clue. Both of the above options were incorrectly fused inline and powered off the same spare normally unused lug on the ignition switch.
