Pics of brakelight switch?, Oopsies. Options

[corsepervita]

Alright so I'm getting the 914 ready and working out all the kinks after the electrical mishap.

I got it all working, everything tested out fine but I got a weird reaction from my wife... "Your brake lights aren't working did you know that?" and i said "nonsense... look" and i'd go push to the floor and they'd come on.

What I wasn't realizing is that it would have to be quite far down before it came on.

So of course, i took things apart and looked at the switch and it either looks bent, or something is wrong with the switch. It has to depress quite far before it'll actually kick on. I thought "Hm that's odd."

If I try and adjust it by moving it further down the large washer that it is on that goes down with the pedal, it'll actually sometimes go too far and past the washer and bam, no light at all.

So I re-adjust it and then it only goes on once it's far down.

Although I'm assuming the following shouldn't be the case: Should it have lateral play? I am thinking my switch may be busted. Maybe when I was doing the harness I bumped and bent or broke it, because it has some lateral play instead of going back and forth.

Anyone have a picture so I can compare?
