My 1929 split braking saloon has brake lights on the footbrake only.
I would like to add them to the hand brake as well but haven't worked out a good way of mounting a switch.
Does anyone have ideas for this?
In order to equalise wear it is a good idea to use the handbrake.
I use it when approaching places where I know I shall need to slow down or stop such as traffic lights, roundabouts and right turns onto minor roads.
As I approach I apply the handbrake a couple of notches to start slowing down and then use the footbrake to bring the car to a stop or else release the handbrake if it isn't needed.
In this situation it would be safer to have the brake lights on.
