Default Rear Brake light switch mount?

Can anyone provide a diagram, or describe to me where/how the stock rear brake light switch mounts on my 1950 Panhead with MECHANICAL brakes? I can't find any pics of any 50 Pan's with enough detail to show me how/where it mounts. I got the part figured out for the attachment to the rod coming off of the brake pedal, but can't figure out where to put the actual switch.
I have upgraded to a RevTech oil pump and the body of that pump is quite a bit thicker than the stock unit and if the switch mounts where I think it's supposed to mount then it isn't going to work with the RevTech pump because there just isn't enough clearance between the pump and what I think is the mounting hole on the brake crossover tube.
ANY drawing, or description would be helpful.

Thanks,
Jeff

pic of right side of a 49 pan sent to your email. If you have a set up that allows you to zoom in, you can see the detail. Switch mounts off a tab on the crossover tube, connects with a small arm, and springs attached to the brake pedal.
