TX brake and clutch pedal switch plunger stops?

OK, so now it's 2019 and my 1994 plastic or nylon brake and taillight switch plunger stops have fallen apart. Besides using steel bolts that fit, where do I find these buggers in the parts book? Anybody know? I've looked in my parts book, they are not with the brake and clutch bracket diagrams......???? And where to get these pn's?

Here's a thread on a nissan part # that was used. https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...found-1094054/

I put a nut and bolt through mine.

I'd say the brake one at least is urethane...one of my pet hate materials on cars....for any purpose.

The Japanese seem to be going the same route....https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/x636383683

You can also use stick-on rubber chair feet from Lowe's. Not sexy, but I've been using them for YEARS with zero problems.

The nut and bolt will work but I don't like the idea of the plastic plunger hitting a metal surface. Over time that can wear the end of the plunger down and then you're replacing the switch. There's a reason Mazda put a rubber stopper there and didn't just simply make it solid metal.
