Brake Plumbing Questions

For those of you that have converted your brakes to a Dual Master Cylinder but have retained a 4 wheel Drum Brake arrangement . What type of Brake Light Switch are you using ?

One like this with the arm mounted on the outside of the firewall/floor where the pedal arm can contact to turn it off and on does the job well.

When I did my 32 I just took a plain ford sender like you would have had stock and T'd it into the brake line.I think the sender was from a 64 merc pu.

I'm thinking about using the Jegs piece below (maybe not buying it there). By using a ~ 6" piece of brake line to the Tee and switch, I believe I can use a pre-made piece of new brake line to the rear.
