I had copied a pattern from one of these sites a fellow had done, the pattern when fabricated allowed the brakelight switch to locate under the dash and ride on the brake pedal lever, the dims on his patterm was in MM and when converted out doesn't seem right, and doesn't match the printed form, does anyone have the actual dims and pattern in U.S. regular inches?

YES

Thats it

Thanks the print out of the pattern ISN'T the measurements, you think he has the US measurements?

You say you just removed the rubber bumper and the switch fitted in the hole and works ok?
