MG MGA - Lockheed Brake Fluid Warning Light

I posted on another thread about pictures of a Brake fluid warning light that I purchased on Ebay. This is a Lockheed kit from the 60s. Here and following are the pictures.

The directions are fairly simple. The indicator lamp is yellow. this one looks very much like it, although the switch with the kit, I believe is a dpdt switch. (haven't checked with a meter)

The difficult part is the cap which has a float switch in it. Perhaps one could be modified by going to the local junk yard and pulilng a modern cap. Note that the contacts in the float switch are silver or silver plated.
