The only place I have seen that switch is Ebay for $50-100. That switch is almost impossible to disassemble without trashing it. I converted mine because I was concerned about having brake lights that didn't work, brake lights are too important.

Unfortunately this conversion will require both 69-up PB switch brackets (I believe both are available from Zips). You will have to make a plate for the switch bracket because the 68 pedal assembly is not drilled for it. I wish I had pictures of what I did. You will also need the connector from your 68 switch (or one like it).

I just saw a thread where a guy made a bracket and mounted a later style switch. Worked like a charm and the cost was low. I can't seem to find that thread though.

The power brake setup has a different length rod, changing the dynamics. You can do what you did, or remove the pedal and drill a hole int eh same position that would be found on a power pedal.
I wonder if this is the problem??
