I'd just dig in my scrap bin for a piece of metal Maybe some 1/8 x 1 angle that I could fab up a bracket that dropped down from the bolt hole between the pedal pin and the dash and had a tab on on it that you could mount a 63/87 Chevy truck brake light switch in.

I don't like the Ford inline brake light switches at all because they fail all too often.

It would probably take 30 minutes or less to cut, drill, trial fit and clean up and paint a little bracket that would hold the brake light switch.
