"Pressure type switches were a cheap and effective way back in the '30's"

Yep, and they still are.





"Now, with that being said, why would an modern rodder want to use a 70 year old device to provide safety on their car?"

Cause it still works great.





"Hell man, mechanical brakes will stop you if you put enough pressure on them and have enough time to stop before you hit something. You don't go keeping those on your 32 roadster, do you?"


Yep use em on the 23 bucket, 66 cobra, 53 FLH, 93FLH they stop fine.






"Sometimes people just go on using the same old thing over and over for one reason only; because they don't know any better"


And sometimes people stay with a winner.






It would be a boring world if we all did things the same way huh?, hope you enjoy building rods your way, I know I enjoy building em my way.
