Brake sensor on Master brake cylinder

Have a 2005 motorhome Workhorse chassis - lost use of front brakes - in Georgia on way to Florida - brake lines were corroded behind the coach battery - the bottom sensor on the master cylinder was just hanging there - does anyone know where I can get a replacement sensor? Apparently the acid from the battery caused the brake line to corrode and leak. Thanks to Good Sam Roadside service for their help getting me going on two occasions this trip!

    I have a Workhorse and my battery is low in the engine compartment, well away from any brake components.

    Same here Brakes are roughly Eye Level for this 6'+ driver when standing in front, Drivers side,, Battery below my knee level passanger side actually UNDER the engine. I know.. Just had to put a new one in (I would say "Drop" a new one in but alas, can not do it that way, got to LIFT and them suckers are HEAVY!!!)

    What is heavier? The house batteries of course.. Replaced them too.
