brake light switch adjustment

[cst350]

So I adjusted the rod to my Master Cylinder today. Working on a 69 with a 72 master cylinder and front discs from ECE.

I had the pedal rest on the bumpstop and adjusted the rod so that I have 1/8" of free play before the MC is engaged. Problem is that now my brake light switch is compressed too far for it to come on when I press the pedal down (@ 1 inch when the engine is off). I have the switch is backed out as far as it will go.

I was wondering if anyone has a dimension between the pedal arm that hits the switch and the bracket that holds the switch. Right now mine is less than 1/2 inch.

Anyone else run into this???

Thanks
