I'm thinking that switch is going to work for all 3 applications. I've got a buddy in the auto business, he's going to swing over tonight or tomorrow and take a look, but he thought that switch would work for all 3 also after seeing it.

I have a plan for mounting it also. The switches threads are 1/2" - 20 (fine thread) Initially I was thinking of just drilling out the existing brake mount/nut there and tap to the new 1/2" threads.....but,........After looking at that, there is not enough room to thread the new switch in, the spades and a little bit of the switch hit metal mounts below it. SO...... I am going to drill a new 1/2" hole directly above the existing brake switch mount and weld a fine thread nut onto the steel. Essentially will be the same set up as the stock mount, but 3/4" higher and set up for a 1/2" fine thread switch.
