Marina Brake Light Switch

At some point in its history my traveller was fitted with a marina peddle box and servo. As part of this whoever fitted it decided to use the marina brake light switch (a ptb switch on a bracket at the top of the brake peddle) This switch has decided that it doesnt want to make a connection anymore. Does anybody know where i can either get a replacement switch from or (seeing as it is a total pig to get access to) if there is an alternative way to make my brake lights work?

A hydraulic connection like a bog standard minor one?

Is the original still there just behind the radiator and screwed into the front brake three way tee piece? You could maybe utilise that along the lines Matt suggests.

I'd have thought it would still be there - can't see why the T piece would have been replaced.

The original cables may have been used by extending them through the bulkhead to the switch fitted on the pedal? So maybe just a matter of eliminating the extensions and fitting relevant connectors depending on year of car.
