Kind of a performance thing... Big Brakes..
When you use the big 4-piston Brembos, it's reported that the pressure to slow down a bit won't turn the brake lights on.
Especially with the brake senders they sell today..
There was a company that sold a mechanical brake switch and bracket that bolted to the pedal cluster somehow..
Can't find the dang thing anywhere.
Does anyone out there have info for me where I can get one of these gizmos?
Would be nice to not have to make from scratch..
Please and Thanks.
