We are frequently losing the brake lights due to the master cylinder mounted switch going bad. I recently purchased one of these mechanical/electrical switches and solved the problem.
You can get a 1/8 npt to 10x1.0 adaptor here - http://www.hydraulicsdirect.com/ProductDetails.asp...3EQAvD_BwE
The switch sells for $39.95 I have no investment in this company.
This is the part explanation from Engineered Components Incorporated (ecihotrodbrakes.com) the company that produces them.
Tired of continuously replacing your outdated, unreliable hydraulic brake light switch? ECI has developed an inline brake light actuating assembly using a heavy duty electrical switch that has no exposure to the brake fluid in the system. This new assembly can be used to replace your existing hydraulic switch using a 1/8-NPT fitting, or can be directly installed into the brake line. The heavy duty electrical switch has screw type terminals for a positive connection, and is rated @ 35 amps @ 12V-DC, which may eliminate some relay requirements. The included urethane boot provides for weather protection. Inline assemblies are supplied with your choice of 3/16 or 1/4 inch tube inverted flare fittings, straight or 90 degree. Hydraulic switch replacement units have the required 1/8-NPT fitting to adapt to your existing T-fitting. |

| These completely eliminate the inherent delay of a hydraulic pressure actuated switch https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2140061 |
