I found this, seems like a perfect solution for my F front brakes and K master cylinder. Anybody using one? Experience/opinion?

Easy-peazy, leaves a very clean set up. Just tighten the bolt before running the wires or you will end up with twisted wires if done the reverse way... don't ask

I use one on the Triumph. I suggest getting one from Woodcraft. I tried a few other manufacturers (because they were cheaper) and they all required too much pressure before the brake light would activate. The Woodcraft has worked perfectly for 3 years now.

Goodridge makes them too as does Russell and Willwood, nice clean units.

FWIW Goodridge was one of the units I tried that didn't work well. If I remember correctly Goodridge and Russel are the same company.

I use them on almost all my builds, just make sure you get the correct pitch for the master cylinder. Here is one with a brembo master upgrade on my 78f.
And one of the 77f with rearsets.
