location of two step button in a stocker

Bill Bogues · 05-17-2015, 02:28 AM

Does the switch for the two step have to be mounted on the brake pedal or can you put it somewhere else, like on the shifter console?

Both N and I HRA changed rule a few years ago, and you must have 2 step activated by brake pedal. Can use electric switch on pedal or brake pressure switch.
I have a simple pressure switch, think from Jegs if I remember right, that is plumbed inline on a brake line.
There are some really nice switches that are adjustable for brake pressure to activate/release also.
I have a toggle switch for on/off so it does not effect my burnout. Some have a switch on shifter also, so it is only activated in low gear. I am running a Mallory ignition, and have an RPM window switch programmed, so if I hit brakes on top end, it does not activate.

Good luck.

Ken I'm not trying to cause problems, as I see you are definitely trying to help. But what is to stop someone from deactivating their 2 step with the off/ on switch instead of the pressure switch. Say you created the required presuure to activate the 2 step, then just turned off the switch to launch? Don't get me wrong , I completely sympathize with not wanting the 2 step to come on at the wrong time, but wouldn't the switch let the 2 step release as well?

Yes, We run a two step switch on our brake pedal on our stocker..

Pretty simple fix....

Just wire the 2 step thru a Normally Open micro switch that is located to be closed when the shifter in Low Gear....

The 2 step will only activate in low gear...

If you use have to start your burn out in Low Gear just put the pressure switch in the rear brake hydraulic circuit......
