The only thing that could have happened other than accidentally crunching the switch while messing about doing something else is to have changed the length of the pushrod while working on the master cylinder.

Probably just need to adjust the brake light switch.

The chief engineer from Lucas once told my father Lucas would never use alternators because they were too unreliable and not "self actuating" -- Pop designed the control system for a set of alternator stator winders for Chrysler and the guy from Lucas stopped in to take a look. This was early 70's, just before Lucas finallly started making alternators. I guess they were the folks that though English cars shouldn't have fuses, too.
