TE low brake fluid sensor - a vital safety device for an MGBGTV8
Bob Owen (Blaze 1675) from Berkshire suffered one of the brake servo failures we have reported over the last few years and decided he would like a little more warning if the brake fluid loss might occur again! He was well placed to create an electronic sensor which fits on the brake fluid master cylinder cap as he runs a successful small electronics business. This kit was launched at the Club's annual International MG Meeting at Silverstone in July 2005 where V8 enthusiasts were be able to see a demonstration unit and many decided to buy one. The kit is described in V8NOTE331.

Fitting a TE Low Brake Fluid Sensor
The sensor developed by Bob Owen (Blaze 1675) at TE Electronics in Berkshire is a useful device to warn you of low fluid levels. A detailed installation note - V8NOTE332 - was prepared by Victor smith (Harvest Gold 1089) which described fitting an LBFS in easy stages. See V8NOTE332.
