Map Tester,
Sorry, I didn't answer this sooner. See post ~#223-226 for brake sensor info, pictures, and urls to buy. When I had my brake lights on my (stolen) bike. They worked great. No slip ups or lights stuck in the ON position problems.

The brake switch is automatic when you press the brake lever. But if you need room for other switches, maybe a narrow aluminum bar to suspend the switches below the handle bars would work.
