I'm looking for input on a source for a mechanical brake switch for my '62
BT-7.
I see in the archives that some have used the Watson Street Works mechanical
brake switch. I have purchased one, and it does not look like I can make it
work for me. It is a normally open switch, which dictates a particular
orientation [the arm has to be retracted when the brakes are off, and the
arm is relaxed as the pedal is pushed.]. This combined with the large size
of both the switch and my feet means I don't have the clearance to mount it
as did [for instance] John Sims. See

So - any suggestions of particular switches, before I go out to haunt Radio
Shack and the auto parts store?
