Re: [T3] Electric/Mechanical Brake Switch


Sounds like somebody switched to DOT 5 !  :-)

You basically did a better job at what I did... I used a microwave oven
switch which is smaller and needed to put some Caps across the contacts to
keep them from burning.  Sticking a .01 or .1 uF cap across your contacts
too would help give you that warm and fuzzy that it will hold out long term.
