Brake switch on OBP floor mounted pedals, advice

I'm in the process of removing the sierra pedals from my tiger avon as they are useless.

I've bought some OBP floor mounted pedals with bias bar and will be retaining the cable clutch.
My problem is how do you sort out and fit a brake switch for them.
Currently setup had the original sierra switch in the pedals but can't see how this is any good for new pedals

Any photos would be appreciated and advice on how anyone has built theirs

You can get banjo switches that replace the banjo fitting to the master cylinder for the brake line, just acts on the brakes pressure

I would just fabricate a bracket to use your existing switch,I wouldn't go over to a pressure switch as in my experience they don't work well enough.
I've converted mine to an electrical switch as the brake lights were not coming on when the pedal was pressed lightly.

I've had to replace my hydraulic switch a couple of times and now have a mechanical switch to fit
