4x4 indicator switch

Hey guys. I seem to have a bad 4x4 indicator switch on my transfer case. I ordered a 20 dollar switch off ebay, but it is a tad bit long. Meaning the switch is made even in 2wd. Looking at them physically, it's hard to tell how much longer the new switch is. I think, the part number I need is 84222-35050. The part number that I ordered shows in the listing as a 84222-35090. The connector was different, but was easy enough to switch out with the original, but like I said, it's a bit too long. Anybody have a source for this switch? Or know the correct part number? Its a 1991 4Runner with a manual transmission. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to shim the switch out some with an aluminum washer or two??
Seems I had to do this once to adapt a switch to a transfer case I was changing out.

That thought had entered my mind. If you put 84222 in the search on ebay, seems there's several, and some of those come with a washer. I feel confident that would work, just gotta figure out how thick of a washer to use.
