Re: MK1 brakes

["Kris Rayner" <veritech@fix.net>]

What I plan on doing when I install my brakes is to just come up 
with two t-fittings and then screw the sensors into those fittings 
and put the fitings inline with the brake lines.  Then I keep the 
stock wiring and switches and won't have to bend the line and put 
stress on them in order to get them to reach.
