Hobert62 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I'm getting ready to plumb my b67 for maxi's. I'm looking for ideas where to mount the knob. Im thinking about eliminating the "front break slippery wet road" valve and putting the maxi knob in its place. Any ideas or pics of where yours are?

Popular Post Underdog Posted March 27, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2016 You could probably use the flipper valve for the wet road dry road, and keep your dash looking original. Previous owner added Maxi's to my F model and used a TR-1 flipper valve to match the other dash controls. When I am outside later I will post a picture. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44457-maxi-break-valve-knob-in-a-b/#findComment-328571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddeere Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I plan to mount mime between the wet dry and tractor protection switches. I have a hole there where the controls for the Stewart Warner recording bitumeter was. Thomastractor did a post on this with pictures Mar25, 2012. A TR-1 flipper would be neat also.

Hobert62 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 I have read thomastractor's post several times. I have a pp-1 valve to use. I kinda like the flipper valve idea. Is the wet dry valve a on-off switch or just some kind of limiting thing. I haven't tore into the dash yet.

The limiting is accomplished at the splitter mounted near the steer axle. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44457-maxi-break-valve-knob-in-a-b/#findComment-328597 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 My brake control is on the left lower corner of the dash, right by the door. It is an old school valve with chrome handle. Not the later yellow. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Vladislav Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 The slippery road switch idea seems good to me. I would redo the info plate on it either with something like "parking brake apply/release".
