brake fluid sensor question on conversion

hi

I was looking at doing the SSBC brake conversion kit from late model restoration, the one that is $699 with everyhting needed, pads, slotted/drilled rotors, 73mm calipers,stainless hoses, master cylinder,etc.

It comes with a new master cylinder that does not have the fluid sensor harness on the resorvoir like the stock master cylinder. The guy a SSBC said that the brake light would always remain on the dash. He mentioned there may be a way to bypass it


Has anyone used this kit, and if so what did you do with the brake harness so that the brake light will not show up on the dash. Also, were you happy with the kit?

Thank You

I think it's a 1" bore MC which I never felt was the roght MC for the application. There is no sensor for it as the sensor was in the combo valve those years.

I think leaving the switch unplugged wil leave the light off, but if you don't use a jumper wire, you might not have an e brake light.

I dislike that kit simply for that reason.

Thank you for the information!

Any suggestion on a front brake kit? or should I just update to slotted rotors and stay with stock calipers and update stock brake booster and master cylinder?

Thank you!
