Brake Pressure Sensors

[motorsportbeng]

I'm looking for an off the shelf in-line brake pressure sensor take-off fitting if they exist.
-3 fittings at either end to suit the brake lines and then I believe that the thread for the pressure sensors is pretty universal amongst most sensor manufacturers?
Can anyone recommend anything?

Could you not use a pedal position sensor ?

I'm going to be using a bias pedal box so will need the pressure values of the front and rear circuits to help with the brake setup.

Hmm very precise! Unless your in F1, i think the conventional route is to do a lot of maths involving area/leverage/pressure of pedal and cylinders etc, followed up by some real world testing by seat of pants.

I have done the calcs / made the spreadsheet for the physical set-up (I have designed the pedal box myself) but the brake pressure sensors will be going into my dash display. Maths channels can be made to show the current brake bias which can be used to validate the turns of the bias adjuster whilst out on track. I can get the sensors without too much issue but I haven't yet found an in-line, affordable adaptor to fit them in.

Have you tried Think Automotive?

Most sensors will be available in -3. You want a -3 T-Piece with the upper fitting female and the other two male. If you want to remote mount the pressure sensors use a male t-piece and make a short length of -3 female to -3 female braided to provide the pressure signal to the sensor. Alternatively use a double height banjo bolt on the master fittings and fit a -3 to banjo on the upper fitting carrying the sensor.

Chances are I have bits in spares including some 160bar sensors, if you are stuck drop me a mail.

KSA sensors make them in -3 tapered or M10x1.0 straight thread fitment.

Obviously you'll need a suitable tee to install this in the line

Thanks gents, yeh the male-male T with a female take off in the centre to suit the -3 sensor is what I'm looking for but as of yet I haven't found anyone selling them.
Plenty of all male T's you can buy so I will probably end up getting one of them with a short length of hose in between with female ends but that adds a couple of extra fittings and length of hose to buy - it's close to an extra £50 quid for the two braking circuits.

Hi

We had a requirement which required the exact same thing your after…..luckily I found them a while back

Heres a link to the item in question: http://atecautotechnic.co.uk/en/tee-pieces-y-piece...

Don't have any ties to the supplying company btw!

Hope it helps
