brake pressure switch

Post by hardnutdvd »

i bought a brake pressure switch to install onto a set of aftermarket rearsets..
when i got home and took it out the packet, it is not the type that bolts into the top of the mastercylinder.

the end is similar to that of a brake hose. round hoop with small hole

it installs the same way as the brake hose.. either above or below the brake hose fitment..

i'm guessing this type wont work as there is only one hole at the top of the bolt that screws into the mastercyclinder??

From what you describe I would think you need a double banjo bolt to go along with that switch...

If you've converted the fronts to braided and still have the original Honda parts, theres a double banjo bolt that goes through the splitter I believe.

got myself a double banjo bolt on way home from work but still useless... lol.
the spacings of the holes on the double banjo are for 2 brake lines (obviously)
but this fitent on this brake switch i bought is a lot thinner. so doesn't line up with the second hole! i weren't gonna risk leaks by packing out with 6 washers. id rather do it properly once and save the hassle or worry...
i given up and contacted gav at jap 4 to hopefully post me a 'normal' pressure switch out tomorrow...

lesson learnt though i suppose :)

Ok, that isn't what I pictured in my mind at all. Is that supposed to replace the top washer to the banjo?
