Doug,
Maybe that's because you enjoy the safety net of a dual reservoir braking
system. The level warning switch would be a marvelous safety device for
those of us with '67 and earlier Spitfires. I dare say it could make the
difference between business as usual and catastrophe. I think that I'm
going to pursue this and if I can come up with something viable, I'll share
it with the list. I would think that rigging a switch to the M/C that warns
you of a dangerously low fluid level should be fairly inexpensive and not
too difficult. The most time consuming aspect of the whole thing is going
to be finding the sensor itself.
