E-brake gauge tap? does yours?

[Archive]

My BD 4" brake has a 1/8" tap for the gauge to connect. Do all E-brakes have this??
Just wondering for my new hair-brained gauge idea.

Larry, I am not familiar with the BD brake but I have heard that one or two of the manufacturers actually give you two ports. One for a post temperature pyro and one for a back-pressure monitor. My E-Brake did not come with any but I tapped it for post turbo EGT probe. Tell me more about the hair-brained gauge idea.

My BD turbo mount came with the two tapped ports.

My PacBrake has one. There is another pipe plug in it that might be for back pressure.
