Get yourself a momentary push button that is normaly closed (push off). Dick smith has them for $1.20

Switch

They fit in the hole that's already there in the hand brake assembly. Connect one lead to the handbrake bracket for earth and run the other lead to your Handbrake warning light.

Works a treat.

Mike,

Was that in the manual? I couldnt find itmaybe you have the later edition.

Had a great weekend in the garage , ripped out all the wiring and starting from scratch With my wiring skills reckon I'll finish just before the nationals

We've just completed our wiring on our CR - the Comprehensive Build manual was about a useful as a hip pocket in a singlet.
I have yet to do the brake switch either - so thanks for the tips CC crew !

PNeall - if you need some wiring help - there is a diagram on my www site you are welcome to plaigerise. I wrote this after building our wiring.
http://www.fourcorks.com.au/cobra look under useful links.

While we're on a wiring thread - anyone know how I should wire up my VDO tacho for the LS-1 ?
Is there a feed from the PCM that will drive it ?
If not - how do I get it working ? (T off the crank angle sensor or final drive from the T-56 ?)

I reckon that bit must have been in the wiring manual rather than the build manual. Probably just after the section on making the float switches for the brake M/Cs. I didn't get that manual 'cause I didn't buy the CR wiring loom.
