The one for Innos that mounts up near the bulkhead is not the same as the one that mounts above the right front hose.

I ended up buying this from Amazon (our brake switch is very similar to some Harley bikes) //amzn.to/1Hv5rKO
Works like a charm.

Thanks DR. I'm losing hydraulic fluid somewhere in the brake system and I suspect the switch because I just changed it. I'm reasonably sure the switch had pipe threads but if it didn't it would leak. I have another one that does not seem to be a pipe thread fitting ie its not tapered. If the switch bottoms out in the banjo bolt do you think I could seal it with a washer?

Nope, they are 1/8 BSP (British Standard Pipe, parallel). Which is slightly smaller and 1 tpi different to NPT.
Run a BSP dienut down an NPT one and it'll be fine.
BTW I bought a Mini one last month, in a Lucas box. No idea if better quality than the poor cheapo ones. It's now on my brother's Hillman Imp, if it dies soonish I'll say so.

Are the threads on a hydraulic brake light switch NPT? Could I get away with using a NF thread switch and a copper sealing washer.
