Default Stop light switch fitting?

CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH A FITTING TO PUT A SCREW IN TYPE STOP LIGHT SWITCH INTO A 4 PORT DUAL MASTER CYLINDER? i USED ONE SIDE FOR FRONT AND REAR BRAKE LINES AND HAS PLUGS IN THE OTHER SIDE. THE PLUG REMOVED AND A 3/16" BRAKE LINE WITH FLARE SCREWS RIGHT IN BUT THE BRAKE SWITCH IS 1/8" PIPE THREAD? i HAVE NO ROOM FOR A MECHANICAL LEVER TYPE SWITCH.

I remember trying to do this exact same thing, went nuts trying to find the fitting, put in a tee in the line in a spot where I can get at the switch, I change them every 3 years good or bad, I just do. I found a tee with the tap on the bull.
