Installed a power brake booster and front disc brakes. Need to know where to install the brake light switch on the booster/valve. Can I remove the brake warning switch and install there?

The brake light warning on the proportional valve is only for a dash warning light. to install a fluid brake light switch you need to run a kit with a T and the switch like this:

Can I use the switch off the original brake system. Also where do I plumb it in? There is a plug on the front of the valve, can I use it?

The brake light switch will go in the rear line after it leaves the prop valve. The front spot cannot be used... Does not work correctly. The rear is the lower pressure.

Does it go before or after the Residual valve?
Also what adapter would I need to connect my hard lines to the fittings in the kit? I had some couplings but they don't seem to fit right.

before the residual valve. The fittings are a 3/16 or a 1/4" inverted flare. The residual should come with the correct adapter for either size.

The braking mechanism light change will go in the back line after it results in the brace device. The front identify cannot be used... Does not work effectively. The back is the lower stress.
