Thanks for your reply,
When the switch rod went past the rear support of the housing and fell inside the housing, the rod had no place to go when the brake pedal was released. So what happened is the rod hit the rear support somewhere other than the hole in the support and the force was so great that it bent the housing and the rod.
I am aware that I made the extension longer than I needed. But the extra length is not interfering with anything else and I will guarantee you that the switch will NEVER do that again!! That situation left the owner with a car that had to be towed back home, not good!
