Where can I find a replacement rubber pad that activates the brake light switch? Mine is not activating my brake switch like it should. I have to pull the pedal up to get the lights to turn off or my battery will die.

The brake switch is adjustable. Loosen lock nut, unplug switch, rotate switch to move in or out, plug up switch to test. Adjust until desirable results are achieved.

So this has been a very frustrating repair, actually I have not been able to repair it yet...
First, I'm not sure how one would be able to adjust or replace the brake light switch, seems very tight in there. I am unable to remove the booster shaft from the pedal pictured above.
Second, I had my wife apply pressure to the pedal while I opened the bleeder to make enough room to install the rubber bumper. I got it in there but then ripped off the rubber wedge that seats in the hole with needle nose pliers... What is the best way to go about fully seating this bumper?? Geeze hahaha...
As you may have surmised there is very little brake pedal travel which is good, it just doesn't leave much room for repairs.
Please help.

Unbolt the booster from the firewall and you'll have tons of room for adjustment. Pull the cotter pin and that pin will come out and then you can adjust away...
