Default how good are these?

as the 3dr is having a bias pedal box, fitting a brake light switch will prolly be a pain in the ass, i spotted these int he demon tweeks catalogue and thought it would be a good idea.

basically just replaces the bolt for the front brake cylinder

how good are they?



cheers

lead_foot: its just a pressure sensor

use it as a normal banjo bolt on the front brake cylinder, and wire it up to the braking circuit

Kitcar boys use pressure switches for the brake lights on a T-piece with one of the front brake lines - they work very well
