Any 3/8 thread 2 terminal pressure switch will work but if you are using 
silicon fluid, put in a mechanical switch on the pedal box.
I used a cheap radio shack switch (pack of 3 for a couple bucks so I can 
change them when they fail)  I think I put it in where the pedal stop 
bolt goes and used an axle nut (tap it on with a hammer) to hold it in.
Run a sub harness under the heater box to your existing pressure switch.
I even tried the silicon specific pressure switches, they lasted about a 
month.
