Technical 1951 Chevy brake switch

What keeps the wires on the brake switch all it is is two posts with no threads?

Picture?

There’s probably supposed to be a mating connector.

There are two different sizes of these mating connectors available from the parts store, one of them fits. You only need the female side, of course.

 

If they're what I'm picturing in my giant brain, they were called "bullet" terminals and connectors.

Yep, what squirrel said. They just plug onto it. Simple.

 

There are leads similar to what Ford used on theirs and also on coil and solenoid posts.

a lot of the cheap newer connectors don't stay on, even when closed up using a wire crimping tool. I started using a blob of hot glue on the terminals after they are pushed on. when done carefully it will form a single unit that can be pulled back off when needed but keeps one or both from falling off.

 

Prefer the uninsulated versions. You can see the crimp
