The pic appears to be just like my 71.   If what YOU have doesnt reach, and you have the switch, a longer bracket is an easy part to make.  The OEM part is made to extend the length of the slot if needed.  If you have the correct bracket, I wonder why it wont adjust to the length you need?

It is not the length.The right angle on the bracket is not deep enough to reach the pedal.Mine is 1/2 inch to the center of the switch.I need at least another 1/4 to 1/2 more.

I was mocking up my pedals.I see now that the switch does not hit the pedal.It hit the bolt head next to the pedal.That is why I thought I was coming up short.Thank You for the pictures.
