My thinking is just to the footbrake as that is the "natural" brake & if you are hauling on the hand brake then the foot pedal will probably be on anyway!
Can anyone put up a simple wiring diagram for adding a brake switch please? I have nothing at the moment on the '27 Chummy nor the '29 RK!

If you are on 6 volt, don't forget switches need to be able to carry twice the current than they do on later 12 volt systems (for two 21 watt lamps = 7 amps) the switch on mine failed and I fitted a relay to get over the problem.
