brake light switch replacment

hey all, My 87 targa recently had its brakelight switches go out. NOt sure if it is one or both, so I plan on replacing them both. They are the two spade connector "narrow" ones. Pelican sells the wide switches and says there is an adaptor for the narrow ones, but I can't seem to locate it on the website. any info would be helpful...or a line on where to get the narrow ones.
thanks

I'm not aware of an adapter, so I made my own

This is another option:

Brake light switch connector spacing problem

Good Luck,

a better solution is to get the BLSAS relay from Draco A50G. Here's another couple of threads for you to check out:
One or Two Brake Light Swiches???

I used to add 2 pieces of wire before I got the Arc Suppressor. You might want to read this thread. There are many threads about this. if you want to read more, you can search on "Brake light" or "Arc Suppressor".
