Brake Shutoff Switch

[FlatTire]

Do you guys have any recommendations on what kind of right front brake shut-off switch to buy and where's a good place to get one from?

Thanks.

Just be careful with some of the electric ones as they will still seep some fuild thru and can lock up the brake. I perfer a good manual ball valve with a adjustable proportioning valve.

I can't tell you what brand electric ones really work, I've have several and some work well other are junk.

I use a good ball valve with a check valve to release pressure as heat builds in the caliper. No matter what brand as the heat increases in the caliper it will drag. Hurts roll control electric valves work pretty good. I always put a check valve in line to relief pressure.

Where do you guys recommend mounting the inline ball valve?

It is generally ran and mounted above the shifter area on the outside of the cockpit so the knob is on the inside of the cockpit. I would also install a proportioning vavle with it also, that way you can cut the RF down without shuting it completely off. Use one of the 7 position quick adjust ones (like tilton or wilwood) or a adjustable screw type one like a willwood or others. Then if that isn't enuff in that situation you can go ahead and shut it off if needed. I don't like to see people run with it shut completely off as in case of a panic stop the cars can vear left or spin out, I feel alot safer with the RF shut down then off.
