Default 68 brake light switch

Have you 68 owners had a problem with brake light switches? Im on my 4th one now,and as you know they're not the $1.98 one used on 67's & 69"s.

I built my own pedal assembly for the conversion and I used the $8.99 (Aus$) one for reliability

I had to change mine a few weeks ago.

Went to get an inspection sticker, and... no brake lights.
