Is this a hydraulic switch?  I was surprised to find a Ford logo on the
original switch in my Cobra.  When it needed replacing I took it to a
local auto parts store and had them match it up to one they had in
stock.

Also I was never happy with the amount of pedal pressure required to
activate this switch.  Changing switches didn't help matters so I rigged
up a limit switch to come on when the brake pedal arm was off of its
stop and connected it in parallel with the hydraulic switch.  I no
longer have irate people yelling at me to get my brake lights fixed.
This also greatly increased my comfort level driving in bumper-to-bumper
traffic.
