Technical Pressure brake switch horizontal or vertical?

I was just thinking about my girls '60 and how it's a pain to get to the switch.

 

Dang this must be the voodoo thread , went to fit a trailer plug today and lo an behold the new not been driven the car has had a full rebuild (well 20miles ) hydraulic brake switch was dead.. Frustrated.

 

I had the same problem with mine, only it was with stock Lincoln drums up front and 10" Fairlane drums in rear. Replaced mine with a mid 60's Chevy switch on the brake pedal. It is the pushbutton style, like a refrigerator door switch. Lights come on much faster now.
