[TR] "More reliable" sidescreen brake pressure switch for DOT5/silicone?

[DAVID MASSEY]

I went the MGB route.  The brake light switch used on the early MGB replaces the pedal stop on the pedal box as can be seen in the attached picture.

 I converted my TR3B to DOT5 three years ago.  I've been waiting for the silicone oil to get into the pressure switch and cause it to quit working.  That time is here.
Yes, I could convert to a TR6 mechanical switch actuated by the brake pedal lever.  I may end up there.  But it's fun to keep this car as original as I can.  Is any one supplier's or source's brake pressure switch any more reliable than the others around DOT5?
It was a nice day the other day, so the TR3B made the drive to the village mailboxes now that I"m living in northern New Mexico.  Forty four years last month that I've owned this thing.
