Claim:
A switch bracket comprising: a bracket body having: a lower surface, a first side flange extending transverse from the lower surface, a second side flange extending transverse from the lower surface, a kickplate extending transverse from the lower surface and transverse to the first side flange and the second side flange, and a tab extending from the kickplate and attached to the first side flange at a position distal to the kickplate, the kickplate and the first side flange spaced apart from one another at positions between the tab and the lower surface and coupled to one another at positions proximate to the tab, wherein one of the first side flange or the second side flange extends a greater distance from the lower surface than the other and thereby defines an attachment zone of the bracket body about which the switch bracket is mounted; and a switch mount located on the lower surface of the bracket body, wherein the switch mount is configured to retain a stop lamp switch, and at least a portion of the kickplate extends outward from the lower surface further than the stop lamp switch that is retained by the switch mount.
