Default Is the brake light switch on a 68 adjustable?

Hi,

68 that I converted to Manual brakes from power (all Wilwood). I have noticed that the little arm on the brake light switch requires the pedal to be REALLY far pressed to move.
I have read about converting it to the 69+ switch which makes sense, but I wanted to see if the position of the 68 is adjustable to make the arm move earlier instead of how late it moves not.
I have checked the assembly manuals but they don't have that detail in there. I'm hoping someone here has tried it.

The mount has two long slots in it to allow the 2 screws to loosened off and it adjusted to suit.

Thanks.
I got in there last night. It wasn't as hard to get to as I expected. A box end offset 3/8 did the trick. It is all adjusted now.
