Same trouble with the '65. It's a light car and does not require that much pedal effort to stop for normal driving. I recently added a industrial limit switch (micro-switch in a metal housing) down on the brake master cylinder rod near the pedal. It is wired in parallel with the original hydraulic switch and has a roller on the end of its' sensor arm that rides up on the yoke when the pedal is depressed. Now I can activate the brake lights even with no braking effort which is effective for the more timid of the tailgating clan. But more to the point, I have brake lights for every brake application.
