trans brake long throw switch style and mounting

Dragsinger · 03-02-2015, 12:19 AM

I would like to see examples of trans brake switch mounts.

When I raced electronics with a delay box a small, wheel mounted switch was common.

With the long throw delay type switches I "think" it will be clumsy to have the long stem mounted on the wheel.

I expect with the Super 10 I will want a dash mounted bracket that positions the switch in a comfortable, easy position near the wheel.

Let me see some examples.

Larry, don't have any pics but for my long throw button I made a clam shell mount that attaches to my "eyebrow" bar welded a short piece of 5/8 then put a piece of 1/2 inch inside with a thumb screw so I could move it up or down or angle it. Basically it hangs from the roof.
