Default Small turbo brake switch

Right guys, I own a 1995 small turbo, the brake switch behind he pedal has gone. Juat phined ford and they have quoted me £105 with discount. They say it's different from a normal escort one because my car is 4 wheel drive. I think they are yanking my chain, can anyone tell me if a normal switch would fit it, these are only £30.

Cheers

the big turbo cossie use a standard type switch up to 15/01/95 finis 6089985 rrp £17.74 , small turbo is different part finis 6534359 rrp £104.29,lists it only for 4wheel drive with abs ,although big turbo had 4wheel drive&abs so cant see what difference would be. might be worth getting the cheaper type ordered in and try it .

Ok, for future reference this problem can be rectified by a brake switch bought for £6.20 from eBay for a normal escort. As usual ford are talking Bollocks.
