I'm not familiar with the spitty brake switch, so may be way off 
base.  My TR-4 uses a push button switch to actuate the brake 
lights.  I used one for a GM for a while but it was 
intermittent.  Following Irv's advice, I got a brake light switch 
from a Honda and it's been perfect since.  A cooperative clerk at the 
parts store pulled several different switches until we found one that 
was push button with two terminals.  I don't remember which model it 
was from, though.
