Abstract
A master cylinder assembly including a primary housing defining an elongated bore, a piston slidably mounted in the bore, a piston rod pivotally connected at its forward end to the piston, a switch housing slidably and rotatably mounted on the piston rod rearwardly of the primary housing, spring means biasing the switch housing for forward sliding movement on the piston rod into engagement with the rear end of the primary housing, and switching means within the switch housing actuated in response to sliding movement of the piston rod relative to the switch housing. A retainer clip is secured to the rear end of the primary housing in a fixed predetermined angular position and includes a finger portion extending rearwardly for coaction with a pin member rigidly projecting from the switch housing. The clip and pin member coact to maintain the switch in a predetermined fixed angular position relative to the remainder of the assembly to facilitate the installation of the assembly into a motor vehicle.
