[Tigers] mechanical brake stop switch

[Ron Fraser]

Paul

                There have been several iterations of putting a switch on
the brake pedal.

You need a switch with a soft spring or the switch will push on the brake
pedal putting the brakes on some.

You may need a flat surface for the switch, I epoxied a plastic disc to my
pedal.

 

I consider an electrical brake switch a safety matter plus I needed one for
the cruise control I added.

 

Here are several ways.

 

  

 From Theo Smit - 5A micro switch w/ roller arm - note extra return spring
on brake pedal.

 



  From Larry Paulick

 

 

  

>From Stu Brennan - muffler clamp and aluminum bracket - binder clip on pedal
to provide a flat surface for the switch.

Hi Gary,

 

Do you have a recommendation for a switch to use?

 

Thanks,

 

Paul

Actually, the Tiger should be recalled!!  Yeah, not going to happen.

 

A good safety solution would be to add a mechanical stop light switch.

This would prevent this if the circlip is missing or breaks.
