Default Re: Stockeer two step

mines not a stocker just a footbrake car but its sorta the same in a way. What I did is I went to Tractor Supply or Lowes and got a lengh of 2 X 2 Aluminium angle that is about 1/4 inch thick and cut a piece off and bolted it to the brake pedal (both the pedal pad part and the part that the pedal pad is welded to) Then I got a regular transbrake switch mine is the B&M with the big red button. The button ended up being about 1 1/2 inches higher than the pedal pad. What I do is bring the brake pressure up before staging then once I am staged I push the button with my toes to engage the 2 step and then once the other person stages I bring it up on the two step. As soon a you pull your foot off the brake to leave the 2 step is off instantly. And at the finsh line if I need to get in the brake the button is high enoughf that I have never hit it. If somebody wants pictures I can send them and you can post them here if you want (I still have not figured that part out yet) I have been doing it this way for 5 or 6 years now and still use the same button. I have been carrying a spare in the trailer thinking it would break from pushing to hard but they must be pretty toughf
