Any ideas I've searched through mini spares etc, but I can't find the part anywhere

Are you looking for the switch itself? Looking at the link above it looks like you can't get the switch.

Is your switch white or black? They worked in different ways.

 

This is the black one;-

<EDIT: I think this is the white one - check with them!

The last half a dozen of so new Master Cylinders that I bought came with them. Apart from the ones that were in the car originally being the White Type, they never work.

 

by the way, the White Switches are Normally Closed and there's a 'shuttle' in the Master Cylinder that holds it in the Open position. The Black type is not a Switch at all, but just a contact pin that contacts a 'shuttle' (different to that used with the White switch) to complete a circuit, however it only goes to earth.

Right from new, I've tested many of these and never been able to get any of them to 'Switch'. It's easy to simulate a failure by just bleeding one of the circuits.

 

So, I remove these switches and plug the hole. Then I fit the later cap that has the float switch in them.

Sorry to hijack the topic, but can you buy the bottles for the master cylinder separately, as I painted it was week and now the bottle looks bad

[Jimbob98]

Not sure all I found was a complete unit which was a bit extreme for one part
