Default 1970 911 brake light switch

My brake lights do not work and the bulbs and fuses are working
Im looking for a diagram or video of where the brake light switch is located. Does anyone have any sources?

And I believe I have a spare NOS switch if you need it.

FYI, the reinstall is straightforward, but adjusting the switch depressor arm (you'll understand once you see it) to obtain the correct position and pedal pressure to fire the brakelights is a fiddly, trial-and-error process. Prepare a good list of swear-words.

Turns out the switch was fine. It just needed the correct adjustment. But did get plenty of swear words in getting it adjusted. I See what you mean! Brake lights are now working. Appreciate the help! Thanks.
