Question
My father is trying to find out where to get a brake switch and one of the small reflectors.  We are in Canada and have no idea of where to look for parts.  Thank you for taking the time with this question.

Answer
My company carries the brake switches for your car and for parts my stock answer for “where can I find….” Is to latch on to a copy of Hemmings Motor News, the old car hobbies classified bible. There are many companies that supply parts for old cars and you will find them in Hemmings. www.hemmings.com. My company is www.geezer34nh@yahoo.com.
