Topic: 1968 Brake Switch Extension

[midlife]

Just when I thought I've seen just about everything, I saw something new today.  I was refurbishing a 1968 standard underdash harness and ran across a brake switch extension.  It was about 2" long, and had a male plug at one end (mates to harness switch plug) and a female plug at the other.  It had to be an OEM part, but why?  And how come I haven't seen it before?

I can take a picture if anyone is interested.

I see them all the time. They are OEM
