Thanks to Mark Johnson for sending me this information via email. In Mark's own words and photos:

I found this pull-type brake switch for motorcycles on Ebay for about USD $10.00. After trying to mount it down low on the front fender supports I ended up just clamping it to the handlebar as it was originally intended. My super quick install employs a heavy-duty zip tie to anchor the spring to the cable balance bar. (I may update this to something more reliable.) The wiring setup on my Eldo uses relays to control all lights, so the handlebar brake switch grounds the relay right at the mounting clamp. Works great.
