Electic contacts for thrid brake light

I am looking for both electic contacts (upper - located on the hatch to the left of the striker & lower - located to the left of the pull down unit) for the thrid brake light of an 88 GTA.

Current ones are getting worned out from the constant rising and lowering of the rear hatch.

Thanks.

I think it might have a set of them lying around...Although I had the same problem and I could never get mind to sit right. I had to take foil and place it in the contact in order for it to work....I have it at my grage and I won't be there untill saturday or sunday, if i find, i'll send you a PM,

But personally I would just try the foil thing...I also saw something take two springs and place them in the contacts. He drilled holes in the metal and screwd the springs in, then used a little lead to keep it in place, and he said that worked just fine, and it didn't even look that tackie
