Interesting deuce e-brake MWO

[rdixiemiller]

All
Went to the Kennesaw Ga. military vehicle show. Got to meet Ironhorsethegeneral and the Mrs. Had a great time!
While at the armory, I took the opportunity to check out the ANG deuces just back from Saudi. All the cargo trucks are singled, with Michelin 1100R20's. The van bodies are running dual Michelins. All but 2 had hard tops. Most wre in fairly well used condition.
While rolling up windows before a shower (Anal retentive, I know!), I noticed an interesting modification on some. There is a lever switch mounted below the e-brake handle. I asked a ANG Sgt. how it was wired up. He told me the switch was wired into the low air pressure light. When the handle is raised, the switch closes and lights the low pressure light. The switch is mounted on a shop made sheet metal bracket that is bolted up on either side of the brake lever, through the floor.
I need to find the MWO on this one, I drove 3 miles with my e-brake on one time. It did not hold well before, slightly less now.

I think I might still have 2 of these MWO kits. Let me see if I can find them. Not sure exactly where I put them, and they will only wor with the later style handle.

with the backup alarm switch if the lever is down ALL the way no contack, this will work on any e lever

Well heck. I missed a bunch of you guys then. I knew where to find Mike form Mississippi because he posted pics on the MV list. That post has a number of their trucks with G177 tires mounted instead of NDCs. They look pretty sharp too. Ron, you had your M819 parked up next to the M54 with the trailer. The one Joe and David's Gamma Goat came in on right?

I was walking around with the tan bush hat on and with an OD shirt sporting a British WWII roundel. (A target for the un-enlightened)

I had to leave Friday. I had to work Saturday AM and drive in a parade PM. Next year I'll try to make both days.
Dieselsmoke-
If you find those kits, drop me a PM with a price.

Wrong switch. That is an A3 switch, mounts differently.

One of my trucks had a brake light switch from the M151 on the e-brake handle. Worked very nice.
