brake fluid sensor question on conversion

[1993whtstang]

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

The light wont be on, it will be the opposite, and never turn on from that sensor. The sensor acts as a switch when the float gets to low and makes contact, thus turning on the brake light. You could find out what the master cylinder is for and maybe run the the junkyard and just cut the plug off and rewire it onto your car.

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!
