Thank you.

Specification of the last models is a bit shady, but the Lucas equipment list specifies a Lucas 34815A (type 118 SA) for the late G15CSR which you have.
The same switch was used for the Commando.

You may see the switch in the close-up photos of this superbly restored (?) G15CSR.

All right, I will ask one of the moderators to post pictures, as I am outside of the EU.

Sorry, Piero. I am confused by all your bikes. I thought you were adressing the M33CSR mentioned in the other thread. If it's really a late '67 it should be as pictured above ... but then, maybe you are restoring it to the 1965-6 spec.
I can't help you on brake switch for the rearset configuration. Have you examined photographs?

What pictures?
 
What pictures?

You need to search the Internet and enlarge the images to see the details. I found several and I am sure you can too.

The Lucas parts list says stop lamp switch was #34815A (type 118SA) for 1966-67 G15CSR. I guess the correct statement is 1967 only.
For AJS M33CSR the older type 31383B is listed for 1965-67.

Anthony Curzon has some information as to the changes made to the roadster brake pedal. I guess the rearset brake pedal never received these changes, and activation of the switch was by a spring attached to the brake rod by a clamp. The later switch is neater in that activation is directly by a tab and screw at the brake pedal.
