>Ryan,
>I have used a mechanical switch on both of my BJ7's and never had to
>replace
>one. I use a $4.00 GM tubular brake switch from NAPA and mount it on a
>bracket made to use the same screw holes as the heater outlet damper in the
>driver footwell. Remove the original damper and use it as a template to
>make a new one that will cover the old heater duct hole but will also have
>an "L" bracket shape bent down towards the rear of the footwell so that a
>mounting hole for the switch can be located in line with the brake pedal
>arm. Wiring for the switch can be snaked through one of the firewall
>grommets and run to the original wiring harness connections. Adjust the
>brake switch in the bracket so that a little pedal movement is necessary to
>activate the brake switch. Everything can be returned to original
>condition
>if you desire.
