It's plastic rather than rubber, but machts nichts.

As a temporary fix, you can tape a quarter over the hole until you get a replacement plug.

Good minds think alike! Quick Draw Mc Graw.

Or you could put a short bolt in there with a fender washer on each side. That would hit the plunger on the switch.

My brake switch bumper turned to dust a couple years ago. Looked like this:

So, I chucked up a piece of metal on the lathe and made this:

Glued the little rubber pad into the recess and put it up under the dash. A completely unreasonable and unprofitable amount of time later, I have this:

Next time, I'll use a quarter. With maybe a couple layers of hockey stick tape over it to prevent any metal-to-metal noises.

Thanks again everyone for help troubleshooting this.
