For those of you looking for a plunger style mechanical brake light switch
to work off the brake pedal.
1991 Ford Escort through the ZX2 has this style. New costs about $8. If
you grab one from your local Pick a Part yard be sure to take the connector
and some wire.

I found that the spring force was a bit high but you can easily disassembly
the switch and remove the heavy spring in the plunger.
I tried to find a light spring from a pen to replace the heavy spring but
did not find one, but there is another spring in the switch which seems
correct.
Now I just need to make a better mount for this style switch.
