I don't know if the TR6 switch is the same as the Spitfire, but 
here's some parts to check, from

brake light switch:

73 Chevy Nova switch

Go to ANY Auto Parts store and ask for a 73 (non-cruise control) 
Chevy Nova switch. They make two, one that is metal and the other is 
plastic. Less than $10.00. It works great but you do need to shave 
off part of the threads, like it is on the OEM unit, so it will fit.


Datsun 310         Brake light switch fits without modification

1977-1981 Chevy Luv Truck    Direct replacement but will have to 
crimp new ends on it.
