I bought a replacement brake light switch awhile back for my '69 Coronet 500 which promptly broke before the car ever made it out of the shop. It was the small cylindrical one sold as a OEM replacement. This prompted me to see if I could find a better more robust switch rather than buy another one of the pieces of crap I got the first time.
Pictured below is what I found and it fits like a charm, is a very nice heavy, well made switch and it can be wired either NO or NC. Very solid piece and was actually cheaper than the original and I didn't have to modify the bracket. Found it on Amazon for less than $13 to my door. Listed as "Mico Switch Limit Switch 15A 250V for Moujen M12_1308". There are several like it but this one appeared to have a bit more barrel length to aid adjustability.
Just passing this on in case anyone is looking to replace their switch. I made the three wire attachment tabs so I didn't have to mess with the wiring.
