Title: What's this?
Post by: Andy. on July 10, 2004, 21:48:39

Found this today hanging down will parked up in P.A. Blanchard's car park  :shock:

What's it for  :?:

The is a spade connector on the wheel plate and the piece hanging down has a wire which has broken off from somewhere on it, does it connect on there?

Any clues?

Another pic................

You can just make out the spade connector just to the left of where you can see the brake pipes.

Andy,

It connects to the brake pads to tell you when they need changing.
Some replacment pads don't have the wires on for these to connect to.

BTW Andy,

The reason it's hanging down is because the retaining clip
that holds it in place has broken off, I can see it still attached
to the cable connector. :wink:

Not altogether sure if it works when connected, but now I know what it is aty least.

Cheers again  :D
