2 step off brake pressure switch ?

I thought the rule book said the wire had to be unbroken from hyd. switch to the twostep. I could be wrong.

Then put the on/off switch in the wire that supplies power to the hyd. switch.

Our switches are set pretty high and not very much chance
that we will hit the two step when braking unless we go totally
crazy on the brakes.

That's what I did too, I don't think I've come close to activating at the top end yet. But I do have a switch already installed, and putting it inline with power to the pressure switch is a good idea. I might try that some time. I put that switch in before I encountered the "unbroken wire" rule and never hooked it up.

I'm sure I've posted this before.
Release was in the brake pedal.The system only worked with the shifter in low gear .
Not possible to leave off the micro switch in low.
I suppose someone could try to pull a fast one and leave in 2nd with an auto upshift deal.
Still would be kind of awkward to use the switch (and the pedal button) on the line.
I never had a problem..No. 1 Q, record holder, etc.

You don't want the limiter coming on at the finish line..even accidentally .
You can get the boot for that.

That's the method I've used, I believe it complies and has worked flawlessly since I installed it about a year and half ago...
