Switch is not required if there is the push button on top of the master cylinder, you will need a warning light though that comes on in the event of fluid loss or if the button is pressed to confirm the circuit is working

Yes a means of warning for fluid loss and a means for checking that system is working is a requirement

 

I would not say this was excess wiring.

Thanks,

 

I have seen piccies of a few revised 7 dashes that do not seem to have any switch relating to brake fail switch and my last 7 did not have one but that was a Q reg my latest is a 98 Roadsport.

 

I am just trying to simply the wiring as being a ex race car it all seems a bit of a mess at the momment and preapring it for fitting of a Race Trechnology Dash 2 hopefully.

Not required at all for the MOT see here, after all how can they test it?

It may of course be part of Construction and Use regulations.

if its fitted then its included. IIRC

 

Otherwise why would my MOT inspector test it?

 

Maybe if it is not fitted then................But as says it may be part of the SVA requirement included in C and U.
