Brake light switch woes

Hey everyone,

I swapped in a t56 with 4th gen pedals but for the life of me I can't get the third gen brake light switch to stay on the fourth gen pedals without moving around the plate. I used the plastic 'clip' from a fourth gen switch and it just keeps falling out of the pedal assembly. All of a sudden my brake lights are on all of the time. How did you guys end up mounting the brake light switch on your t56 swaps?

Thanks

Use a Brake-Pedal Switch and Pig-Tail Connector, for a 4th-Gen.
