1960 W189 Adenauer Brake Switch
I am working on my buddy's 1960 300 d Adenauer. The brake lights don't work.
The manual I have (Mercedes -Benz Workshop Manual type 300 -type 300s) is missing section B (brakes).

I have located a new replacement brake switch but am having difficulty locating the master cyclinder and switch on the car.
Can anyone provide me with some insight into locating the switch?

Thanks,

Alex

Never mind... found it.
Remove the air filter assy... easier to see down there.

Brake light switch looks like it will be easiest to access from under the car.
