To “power” brakes don’t you just add a positive and a ground to either side of the master cylinder mounting bolts? direct from the battery without any fuses or other forms of protection? Using 22 GA wire?

That all sounds good but your wire is a little heavy for the application. I also wouldn’t rule out Bluetooth instead of the wire because it would be a lot cleaner install.

Bucket tried but the dude blew him off!!!

I tried, lol. OP never did 100% confirm what the question was.

I'll get on the laptop soon and see if I can make a proper thread out of this mess. Based on assumptions of the question of course. Unless one of my esteemed colleagues get to it first, lol.

I think this thread is exactly what it should be based on the way it started. I would change it back to the original spelling and see how many ideas we can come up with to help him.
