Default 57 Brake light switch

Anyone come up with a replacement solution for the brake light switch for a 57? Mine is about shot, and after a couple of home repairs I need to find a replacement. I haven't found any vendors that carry one. Any ideas other than making or modifying something? Thanks for any ideas.

John

Have you tried Mary Jo Rohner, Grossmueller's, or eBay?

Thank you, John. I've checked eBay but not the others. I'll pursue them next.

If you're not concerned about originality Rockauto.com has one for $4 and change that could be made to work

Use a 58-62 brake light switch bracket and install a standard brake light switch from your local auto parts store.

If you are still needing a switch I have one that works perfect. Call me to discuss it.

Thanks
