Wait, I know this one! I know this one....http://216.25.99.66/newhtml/brakeswitch.html
That switch looks a little different if you order one. It is like what is used on mid 80's Chevy Trucks.

I used a simple switch from radio shack (http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...entPage=search) and mounted it just below the factory brake switch. works good.

If mounting a switch is inconvenient there's also a tip I picked up from a few old street rodders. It's a pressure actuated brake switch. No need to mess with a physical linkage, the brake pressure itself is what trips the light.
