"stop light" switches Part Number??

Has anyone replaced either of their "stop light" switches on my vintage of coach that would still have the part number? After 5 years of a VERY intermittent loss of power problem which would last for only a short time, today the problem surfaced again and would not go away. Being only an hour and a half from home, I dug out the small 50' nylon rope I have carried for just such an occasion, tied it to the injection pump lever, ran it under the bed, (with a 1" spacer to hold the bed up off the rope) and up to the driver seat.....came on home "flying by rope" and had all the power I wanted, if I needed more I just pulled on the rope harder! After arriving home and the coach had sat in my driveway for an hour or so, I discovered it's brake lights were on.....duh, well no wonder my RPM's wouldn't rev up or my cruise wouldn't work.........determined the problem to be one of the brake light switches was faulty. I think I will replace both of them, after all they are both the same age.

Mine are in the forward compartment, driver side...along with the steering box, generator muffler, ect.. You will find them on the forward wall beside the windshield washer reservoir. One switch is for the front brakes, one for the rear brakes.

For those of you that might need one of these in the future, NAPA has them, exact same switch as my originals, even down to the patent number.
I took one of my old ones, laid it on the counter asking the parts man if they had anything like that....he was a seasoned parts man, developing a tad of gray around the temples, and never even picked it up, looked at me with a grin and said "we've stocked that switch for the last 100 years." Isn't it great to get a parts man who knows what he's doing?

NAPA part# BE13250 @ $22.49 ea.
