In reply to johndej :

4 minutes, not bad!

Backstory:

Without that stop, the switch plunger started to compress, then slipped through the hole the stop snaps into. Making a really loud click with each pedal press. 

This was discovered about a mile from our house as we headed for an evening out - 30 miles away through rush hour.

My wife wanted to bail and head home. I said we should press on. All worked out fine, but I admit being relieved to hear the starter turn over when we got in the car to head home.  Would have taken me a long while to live that one down!

Hey, me too!

Although the engine still starts and the brake lights still turn on.
