Installing the back breaks, break switch etc.

The parts that were missing for the ‘back break system’ have arrived from the States. I thought the best place to mount the switch ( a pressurised switch that operates the tail light) was tucked in near the engine .... as close to the harness controller as practicable. 

Ive mounted the break switch on the right side of the engine. They forgot to send the crush washers so i bought 12 off Ebay! The parts include...hose from foot break to switch, hose from switch to rear caliper, banjo connections... you have to buy the break fluid!!

 

There are two wires to connect to the break switch..... plus a jumper feed back to the break light. I shrink rapped the cables and ran them under the engine









Ive drilled a hole in the frame to hide the wires..... youll notice the BACK WHEELS OFF AGAIN!!! ill come back to this in my next post!




 Basically its a break line from the foot brake back to the wheel caliper with a break switch fitted in the middle.





Connected the wiring from the break switch back to the main controller with a jumper wire back to the tail light
