Andy, Bill is exactly right! Make sure you double flare your connection -
"unless" - you are using stainless steel lines. Do not double flare stainless
steel lines or they will split. But, most of the parts should be available at
your FLAPS. Should save you some cash.

No, but, this T and a brake light switch to fit it should
be available in 3/8" at your FLAPS. Probably at less cost
than Ron Francis, especially after you add the two 3/8" to
1/4" adapters you are going to need (also at your FLAPS).
Remember that all brake connections MUST be double flare,
sometimes referred to as reverse flare.

Hey all,
Due to finals and school I've been out of the list for a while. Sorry.
My question is about hydraulic brake switches. I need to put one in to my
break lines. There is one at Ron Francis that comes with the "T" adapter.
My question is, if my lines are 3/8 inch and the T is 1/4, will the size
change affect my brake performance? If so, how much? Thanks.
