MKII to MKI Frontend swap-

[Mark Koontz]

Some months ago I was asking about this swap-

 

I am nealy complete now but need some advice on wiring the (electric) anti-dive soleniods to work. Do I simply use the brake switch to feed them 12V? Do I setup a relay? Do they need a different voltage?

 

Any help is deeply appreciated,

Yes, you need a Relay to feed the Anti Dive Solenoids. It's a fused Line from the Battery to the Relay and from there to the Solenoids. Just pick up the Brake Light Wire, and feed the other Relay Coil Post from there. The other Wire on the Solenoids goes to Ground.

Yup! You use the brake line mto trigger the relay, and 12 volts thru the contact to the anti dive solenoids. The black wire of the EAD solenoids goes to ground while the Black/white leads go to the relay contact. When you hit the brakes, it should energise the relay which in turn energises the Anti Dive Solenoids...
