[Ducati] Brembo Ft. Master Cylinder - Parts Availability?

Greetings,

Bike in question is a 1995 916.

I had my first incident at a local track day.  Low-speed, front end slide
out on cold tires, going down on the right side.  This was at Streets of
Willow, first session after lunch.  Lesson learned.

I was lucky as I had frame sliders installed and 'track plastic'. The bike
slid and did not tumble.

One thing that got damaged, was the brake fluid reservoir 'nipple' on the
front master cylinder.  This is a 90 degree, black plastic piece that the
hose attaches to.  It's cracked at the base, leaking fluid.  In the attached
picture, it'd dead center.  You can just make out the crack.

My questions:

1) Are the replacement parts available for just the plastic fitting?  I
can't find anything on the internet.

2) I'm not seeing the same cylinder on eBay (I'm guessing I've got a very
early unit).  Can I safely assume the 'newer' pieces will bolt up?  (same
banjo fittings, hose lengths the same)

Thanks, in advance for any help or advice.
