I have a kit developed for the mechanical switch to replace or 
parallel the OEM switch.  It uses a common automotive switch 
activated by the pedal shank and is installed with two screws to the 
cowl box behind the pedal.  Very unobtrusive, with a laser cut 
bracket and common switch.  Two short leads to insert into the OEM 
wiring.  I haven't had time to put this on my web site yet, but I 
have photographic instructions.  If you're interested, drop me an 
e-mail and I will send the pic's.  The list typically clips these 
attachments but I'll try imbedding one shot to see if it goes thru.

Note: this is the prototype and I've selected a slightly different 
switch for the kit.
