Remember those spring loaded, arm type switches used under the floorboards on old Chevys. The arm just goes above the brake pedal. Somebody? maybe Mac's, listed them in their hot rod section. Bill W.
(The existing wires should reach O.K. & it just screws to the bottom of the floorboard with 2 wood screws. The switch arm "might" have to be bent a little, but it bends easy, without breaking! I know a man that put one for his clutch pedal to operate a little buzzer, so he "knew" when he was ridin' the clutch!)

The A & L one has a bronze bushing, so it does not stick or bind.........it works the best of any repro............

I bought a late model brake light switch like this from the local Carquest. Just make a little bracket and it goes in the same location as the original.

Go to a NAPA store and ask to see their catalog with brake light switches.
There are a whole lot of switches to check out.

Do a search . A lot of info . I put a 29 switch on my 31 s/w . The 31 repro. I bought was junk . 31 switch caused me a lot of grief .
