Sorry to hear about your sister Bryan. 

I may make up a bracket and utilise the horn fixing points

I know where there might be some brackets but they’re in the US.

Do you want me to ask my pal over there Dom? It’s a bit of a long shot but I know they’re there……

This is the 550F wiring diagram, the two browns connect pretty much immediately in the loom anyway so surely eliminating one or rejoining them will make no difference on a 4 wire switch?  Isn't it just the park position

Got it, the only reason for the extra brown is the fact the steering lock is on the ignition switch so you need to feed the sidelights from there, just joining both to the one brown on the 4 wire will be fine as it does not have a steering lock built in.
I would suggest a padded P clamp on the frame tube holding the bracket the switch fits in.

Perfect Bryan, could I just eliminate the spliced in brown then?
