Important M35A2 brake switch info!!!!!!!!!!

All,

I was poking around my M35A2C last night, and was looking at the airpacks tracking down a brake fluid leak. I found it... .. I have the old style switches on mine, (and I 95% of the rest of you guys do to), and thats what caused the leak... Mine was just starting to leak, but Im glad I caught it..

I just ordered my kits from Saturn Surplus for $38.50 each... They call it a Brake Switch Upgrade Kit, NSN 2530-01-105-5025. A small price to pay for NOT losing brakes on the road.

https://www.logsa.army.mil/pub/psissues/631/631-19.pdf has a nice picture of the old and new switches. If you switch is on the end of the air pack, you have the old style.

Remember if you have a USAF M35A2C with the dual brake system, you'll need 2 of the kits, one for each air pack. Seems the factory didnt put them on the 1987 on up M35A2C's even though the GOVT knew the old switches were bad.

Here is the PS mag note on it:

Mark, what part of the switch is leaking, around the connector terminals?

Mine leaked out through the switch into the connector inside the boot.

I had the same problem, Spicer

I replaced mine about 4 months ago while trying to fix a turn signal problem. It was not leaking though.

I too did this modification to my deuce just after getting it home. well worth it I think.
