Default 1975 FLH Rear Brake Switch

A previous owner replaced the brake line with a stainless line and in doing so eliminated the rear brake light switch. I need to know where the switch was and what color the wire going to it was, so I can put a new one on and identify the right wire. Also, if I'm starting from scratch with a new switch, what other components will I need.

Orange and Red wires for switch, it threads into a brass brake line block. It is located on my 1975 FLH about level with frame rail on riders right side, about midway between transmission and oil pump. I can send photo if needed.

Thanks. The previous owner must have trashed the junction block. I'll have to find a T fitting that will work unless I can still get an OEM one someplace. JP has the switch with pigtails, so hopefully the wires aren't cut too far back.
