Thanks chaps.
I found the Norton / BSA type inline brake switches that they use on the old british bikes to be much better quality that the Vespa PX style ones.
This type switch also allowed me to run the thicker 2.5mm diameter BGM superstrong front brake cable, it wouldn't of fit through the PX style switches, and my drum brake works really well with this thicker cable.
They are a bit larger in size though, so I fit mine under the horncast rather than inside the headset where it would have been a bit of a squeeze.

Just a thought, are you sure it's set right and the stop is hitting the frame strut before the switch bottoms out?
Completely misread the original post and thought you were talking about adding front brake switches.Lukemx82 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 6:11 pm I found the Norton / BSA type inline brake switches that they use on the old british bikes to be much better quality that the Vespa PX style ones.
