THIS IS THE ACTUAL SWITCH......NOT THE PROBLEM

THE PROBLEM IS........ IT IS NOT BEING PUSHED IN ALL OF THE WAY.....LIKE IT WAS BEFORE

I SEE THIS A LOTTHIS IS SO STUPID THAT THEY DID NOT LET THE METAL BRACKET PUSH THE SWITCH----THEY THREW IN A SOON TO CRUMBLE PLASTIC PART

BEAR WITH ME AS I TRY TO EXPLAINA MIRROR AND A FLASHLIGHT MAY HELP YO SEE IT BETTER

ALSO CONTACT YOUR SKINNIEST BUDDY WITH DOUBLE JOINTS!

HERE'S A POSSIBLE FIX---ONE OF THESE ABOUT THE RIGHT SIZE (IN LINK) WITH A SMALL WASHER OR TWO UNDER IT TO THICKEN IT UP

CRANKING UP WILL ALLOW YOUR BRAKE PEDAL TO GO DOWN FURTHER---OPENING THE GAP UP.....IT IS A DIFFICULT PLACE TO GET TO

HOW'D I DO IN A PINCH?

YOU OWE ME LUNCH!!!
