Jon, the one car I can remember that I owned that had non-power brakes and a brake light on the dash had a switch on the master cylinder that was triggered if there was low fluid in one of the two compartments. It would really only come on, as I recall, when there was an obvious brake problem and the pedal went to the floor -- so the light was next to worthless. If your master cylinder isn't wired for a switch, then what I would do (if your MC is visible) is just hook a phony switch with some wires to the bottom of it and label it "brake pressure warning light." If your MCs are hidden in a footbox then just run a wire in to the box and have the label right below where the wire goes in. Then just put a light on the dash and wire it to come on with the ACC position only.
