Brake Distribution Switch Tool

CANADIAN CUSTOMER: Due to the Canada Postal Service strike, we recommend choosing DHL Express.
Note: UPS Mail Innovations is delivered by the post office and Canadian deliveries will be affected by the strike.

International Customers

Due to some ongoing challenges with the software we use to generate customs data and print shipping labels for international orders,
orders may take upto 7 days before we are able to generate the shipping label. If the order has USED item or items that need to be shipped from the supplier to us, it can take significantly longer.

Also be aware that even though we ship items with the proper documentation to show that duties and taxes are prepaid, some Postal Services are ignoring this and still charging these fees at delivery. If this occurs to you, please send us a copy of the receipt showing the tracking number with the fees paid and we can get the Duties/Taxes we charged to you refunded.

UK Customers / EU Customers

We are using a new shipping service where international shipments now include the Duties/Tax/Fees, so currently we can not offer USPS/Mail Innovations if the order is over 135GBP/150EUR, since USPS can not pay duties/taxes. If the order is less than 135GBP/150EUR, we can pay the taxes directly to the EU/UK and we can ship USPS/Mail Innovations*. All orders over 135GBP/150EUR have to ship UPS/DHL so we can use DDP to cover the Duties/Tax/Fees. This has allowed us to resume shipments of any value to the UK and EU.

TIP: You will likely be able to ship your order for less cost if you ship any items over 135GBP/150EUR on one order via UPS, then break the rest of the order up into orders of less than 135GBP/150EUR.

By breaking your orders up into less than 135GBP/150EUR:

you will avoid the import duties on those orders
less expensive shipping methods are available
you will avoid some UPS fees

Canadian Customers

We have worked with UPS to waive some of the brokerage fees. The rates shown now include all UPS fees. We have also added DHL, which offers lower cross boarder fees.

Our shipping provider has added Duties Prepaid options for US Postal Service options to Canada. This has allowed us to resume USPS shipments to Canada.

However, beware that this is a new process for the Post Office, so sometimes Canada Post shows the duties and taxes COD, when they are actually prepaid. If this happens, first inform Canada Post that the shipment was sent duties prepaid (DDP). If they still require you to pay the duties before delivery, please contact us.

Turkey Customers

The international shipping software we use requires that we pre-collect and pre-pay the duties and taxes. Because of recent changes to Turkey import laws, Turkey no longer supports this. Because of this you will need to use a shipping broker for us to ship items to you.

US Postal Service (USPS)

Our new international shipping system supports international shipments via USPS only if the order total (including shipping to most countries) is below the Duty/Tax De Minimis for your country (View De Minimis Chart).
Exceptions:
UK orders upto 135GBP
EU orders upto 150EUR

The US Postal Service (USPS) has suspended services to over a dozen countries (see complete list).
UPS Worldwide Services \ DHL Worldwide can still be delivered to these locations.

Description

Clever tool that keeps the piston stationary in your brake distribution block. It is as simple as centering the piston and screwing in this tool, of course your have to catch the groove in the piston. Leave in until brakes are completely bled and functioning. Remove and install your brake warning light switch.

I worked closely with Daryl at WCCC to rehabilitate my ceased proportioning valve on my 1968 Mustang (Shelby clone). After completing the rebuild on it and the distribution block as instructed I purchased this tool to hold the distribution block piston in place while I bled the brakes in order to prevent the piston from sealing off the back brakes. I didn't even know that would have been a problem before talking with Daryl. I know this little tool saved me a lot of head scratching and extra consternation while trying to figure out why my rear brakes would not have been working again and this time due to the piston sealing the fluid flow off to them. Contrary to another review, you do have to center the valley on the piston of the distribution block under the tool before installing it. Just use a strong flashlight and perhaps some magnified glasses to see that the piston is in the correct position. Thanks for all your help Daryl! My Shelby clone is back on the road just in time for the driving season! Heading to the Ford Nationals in Carlisle, PA in June.

idea is good.

Cons:

Could been made better
Treads were bad. Low quality control?

This is just a bolt where the outer 5 mm or so has been turned down to fit the hole in the distribution block. Clever idea, but I can't say this made me happy when I was going to use it for the first time today. I tried to make it fit in the distribution block, but there was no way I could make it enter. After trying a number of times I gave up and tried it on a differnent distribution block that I had for spare, but with same result. A close inspection showed that the first tread on the tool was damaged and at least I was lucky that it did not enter, otherwise it would probably have ruined the treads in the brass block. I found my tread tool kit and freshened up the treads and it worked like it should.
Another detail I would have done different is the length of the tool. It is too long and that makes it harder to use.

Question

Zechariah Siltman Asked:

Would this work on a 1967 ford 250?

June 30, 2024 1:42 PM

Answer

WCCC Admin Answered:

It might, the master parts catalog seems to indicate the trucks used the same brake warning switch as the Mustang/Cougar, which is the port this screws into. We only have Mercury Cougars we can physically test it on, so we don't have a 67 F-250 we can try it on and see.
