I really don't think so.  I doubt that the pedal assembly moves very 
much see as it is all pretty beefy stuff and so is the tunnel that it 
attaches to.  The switch and the bracket are really not under any 
appreciable load.

I will let everyone know how it holds up.  One nice thing about the 
switch is that it has a nice little audible click when it engages.  Not 
so loud that you will ever hear it while driving, but loud enough that 
you can hear it if you listen for it upon first hitting the brakes.  
Sort of like the FI relays that we have all been trained to listen for.
