Default 71 vert brake distribution block switch

I managed to damage the end of the brake switch on the distribution block. The block that all the brake lines screw into. Do any of the vendors sell just the switch?
Most want to sell the whole block with switch.

Thanks

I don't have a source for just the switch... Sorry for the inconvenience. It looks like everyone making these makes them as whole replacement not as a rebuildable part.

While it not might be important to you, the distribution blocks ARE dated... Depending upon what you intend to do with the car, it may be a better choice to buy a used switch assembly and swap out the switch.

Someone was selling a rebuild kit for the switch, but I'm pretty sure it was just replacement o rings and such, not the switch itself.

Hi,
Maybe one of the most obscure dates on the car?
Regards,
