Parking Brake Switch

Well to be honest I forgot our cars even came with a "brake" light. However while changing out my clutch I grounded a little backet near the parking brake and the light came on. I think the switch is broken (missing a piece). Could someone post a picture of the way this thing is supposed to look and also mount! Oh and how would i go about getting a new one? Would the dealer still have one? Thanks a bunch. I'm sure I'll be in the electronics forum a lot when I get into my keyless entry.

(sorry I forgot to mention is was the parking brake switch the first time I posted)

TY

Thanks! It should make searching for a new one a lot better. Slowly but surely I am fixing all the little things wrong with the car.

Thanks man! now does anyone know if it is still possible to get the switch?? I tried all the autoparts stores and the dealer said he could not get them. Any ideas? Is my fate sealed to junkyard hunting? Thanx again
