Brake Light Switch alternative?

[LBCarNut@aol.com]

Does anyone know of a alternative part number for the electrical brake light 
switch on a 70's midget. I just had another M*** switch fail on me (that 
makes 5 in one year on different cars). Since a regular american car brake 
light switch normally goes for under $10.00 I wanted to  see if there was one 
that utilized the same 3/8 24 thread. If not I am going to start retapping 
the holes and use a metric one that I found.
Thanks,
