Brake pressure switch
I would like to know what you guys are using for a brake pressure switch to use on a two step? I heard that there is one from a company called GEMS. But, I did not see anything in Grainger etc. If someone would recomend a switch and from where I would appreciate it. I heard that a brake pressure switch from a production car would work? I don't know if that is true. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Brake pressure switch
I bought mine from GEMS. The website is kind of goofy and there are alot of options on how you want the switch to be made.

Re: Brake pressure switch
I've been using the one that came stock on my 64 Falcon. Screws into one of the ports on my linelock now that I'm using a non stock master cylinder. It's nonadjustable so I adjust reaction times with tire pressures.

Re: Brake pressure switch
I haven't checked yet, but I've been told that a Volkswagen brake light switch (not sure what year) will work.

Re: Brake pressure switch
Notch1320, thank you for the info. I tried contacing the man you suggest but he said that I have to order the 10 min. So that will not work.
Phillip, where did you buy your GEMS switch from? I left a messsage with GEMS with no return yet. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have thought about the stock brake pressure switch but the ones I have found have a very low pressure on them? I might be wrong. Thanks, please keep the ideas coming. Robert |

Re: Brake pressure switch
I ordered it from the website.
http://www.gemssensors.com They have a bunch of options but the one I ordered did what I wanted it to do and they pressure setting is adjustable unlike the old ford and VW switch's.

Re: Brake pressure switch
Phillip, I tried to order online at GEMS, but it would only allow me to order 10 at minimum. I will try again, that is why I tried to call them. Thank you for the info I will look up the switch you use.
