Hi guys, nearly finished my wiring but was halted by the fact that the cortina master cylinder doesn't have a pressure switch built in. Should this switch be fitted in my plumbing? if so what do you need?

thanks
darren

you talking brake light switch?use a vw golf mk1 type complete with T peice

yes brake switch, T piece where rear brake pipe goes into master cylinder?

thanks
darren

Darren,

t-peice anywhere convenient in the pipeline for the FRONT brakes (rear brakelines generate less pressure so you have to brake a lot more heavily before the brake lights come on)

If possible, fit the switch with the wires pointing towards the ground. This will get rid of a point where air can get trapped in the tee peice during bleeding.

Sounds good thanks!

(did a bit of phoning around, got some "huh's" but i'll come right thanks!)

cheers

twas fitted to lotsa cars n vans,try vw lt truck or rover metro

or a micro switch resting on the pedal, no plumbing worries then.

the Cortina don't have an inline brake switch, its under dash resting on pedal............
