Pretty fantastic replacement there ace..,
The little ears on the bracket that held the original switch in place didn’t match the new switch very well. The original also had nice strong legs. I used 18ga bus wire for stiffness and a secure mount. A bit tricky to hold the bent part of the wires into the lugs, I used an alligator clip to hold them while I soldered.
