[6pack] PDW Switch

[Bud Rolofson]

The switch doesn’t actually (and was not intended to) seal anything in the PDWA, the o-rings on the barbells internally seal the fluid in the PDWA. Replace those and center the barbell and the switch should be fine. I have the o-rings (not the cupped version) for the PDWA, send me an address and I’ll mail you some. Oh and I would NOT eliminate the PDWA unless you have the worlds best emergency brake, and then even then probably not.

> Lists – I know I saw some discussion several months back about repairing/replacing the brake Pressure Differential Warning switch. Naturally, it was not an issue with me then and I didn’t save the responses. At any rate, there is brake fluid leaking out of the actual switch that screws into the PDW block. I noticed that Moss has new ones (aluminum) for $439 and repair kits for the older brass units (such as ours) for $13. Any thoughts on the best avenue to take? Has anyone simply eliminated the assembly and connected the brake lines with couplings, front-to-front and back-to-back? The subject is a ’73 TR6. Thanks.
