Is there such a thing as a 24v brake switch? If so any ideas where I get one from please?

AFAIK not specifically. You didn't say if this is hydraulically operated or mechanically from the brake pedal.

But either way a 12v one will work at 24v. In fact it should last longer as at 24v it will only carry half the current of an equivalent 12v braking circuit.

Try and get genuine lucas if you can though...I've been through a lot of pattern ones that seem to only last a couple of moneth before the contact disc gets pitted.
