Brake light switch: The Drag Part #DS-272791 Can be ordered thru most HD dealers, or on line.

You can purchase that pressure switch at any auto parts store, just make sure it has the same connections.
Some have round and some are the spade.
They are all 1/8 pipe thread.

Just be careful of the old Lucas switches. They have two positions. Flicker and off

I like the pressure switches with the banjo fitting that goes right on the master cylinder .
