Oil pressure switch

1966 240 I6 my stock oil pressure switch for the idiot light is leaking and I need to replace it, however the ones all the stores sale is to short and hits my side cover and block. the shaft needs to be about half inch longer to clear this stuff. I cannot find anyone who sales this type. any input on where to get one?

Extend it out a bit with some brass fittings and some Teflon tape.

No offense to anyone intended here, but I think the 'idiot light' just went on.
