My '60 Bug is on a '68 pan which gives me dual circuit brakes. However, it also gives my two more switches than I need, so to speak. Does anyone know which switch I should hook up to my stock two wire brake lights? How should I hook this up?

I don't think it really matters - I have a dual circuit master cyl in my '66 and just hooked the wires up to one switch and it seems OK. I used the dual circuit switches which go with the later master cyl and have 3 prongs. Use the 2 parallel prongs, I think the one that's perpendicular would go to the dash warning lite on dual circuit cars. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

The wiring is on my web site. You really want to connect *both* stop light switches. The 3rd switch is the warning light circuit.
However, chances are that master cylinder is original: 35 Years old!! Consider replacing with the later dual circuit: 113 611 015BD

Max No Difference. Use either switch you want, result is more or less the same. If you MUST hear a recommendation either way: go with the front switch ;)

Thanks guys! And I got the new MC. Funny thing is it only has two ports for switches and not three like the original, which had a funky switch with a little plastic plunger. Like Jim said I assume that is for the warnign light, which I don't have on my '60, so no big deal I suppose.
