Bruiser,
Since a failure of this sensor can result in brake failure, it is important
to replace it with the right sensor with the right threads to ensure that
it won't leak or break. I got my replacement from Sunbeam Specialties about
twelve years ago. The first one quit working almost immediately, but the
second (free) replacement Rick sent me has been working fine ever since. If
I were going to do it over, I think I'd do away with the pressure activated
sensor and rig up a switch to operate off the brake pedal. This would be
more reliable, lessen the chance of a sudden loss of braking, and make more
room in the crowded area where it's located now. Just my opinion.
