    Difalco Brake/Coast Switch – to replace the small Slide switch for the Brake relay:
    Difalco DD551 $8.00 – mini-bat-handle 9-pin, 2-contact, 3-position, (i.e. DPTT, 2P3T) 1/4 mounting hole
    Mount in a hole next to the Brake Pot; use two wires (20AWG, solid) one on a center lead, the other on one of the outside leads. The 3-Position adds safety, by requiring Two clicks to go from Full-Relay (cutting out the pot/knob) or variable (engaging pot/control; relay cut-out)

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
