Just pray you never have to fit it.

Most - like BMC Mini screw into a threaded boss in the bracket above the pedal and are secured with a locknut.

BX ones don't have the threaded boss - so you have to put a nut on between the pedal and the bracket - then adjust the thing! Have a look at where the switch is and all that plastic trim - and pray it doesn't fail!

Most replacement switches don't have the second nut - you have to remove it from the old switch.

Conclusion : move the switch from the AX to the BX box

Hope it never goes again you need to be a contortionist with small hands and eyes in the top of your head.
