R60/6 brake failure warning light - what does it do?

[Mad Hatter]

Can anyone enlighten me as to the function of the brake failure warning light on a 60/6 with drum brakes?

The lamp would ordinarily be wired the brake fluid level switch when an under tank master cyl is fitted.
Maybe they just used the same clocks?

From what I’ve seen online all the 60/6 models have the same instrument binnacle with the brake warning light even with drum brakes. Just seems odd on cable operated brakes. I reckon you’re right Mike - money saving exercise!

A useful ignition-switched source of power from the loom, perhaps?
