Just noticed brake light no longer operates from the rear brake. Does from front so most likely pressure switch/banjo gone u/s. Assume these common to other bikes or cars?

Does anyone have a recommendation or can share thread size on the master cylinder so I can switch for a more common type?

Oops - SB6R btw!

Its a brembo unit so I'd assume a 1.00mm pitch and single banjo length pressure switch in. Best to get a stainless one

Disconnect wiring from switch and short the wiring with ignition on , brake light should come on , if it does it's the switch , mine packed up years ago and was swapped out as above .

Done it. Was the switch. Found a spare switch off my Moto Martin. Very old but exactly the same and worked a treat! Many thanks all. If I do need a new replacement they are OEM fit to many Hinckley Triumph motorcycles.
