I am going to be adding a brake to my setup. I will NOT be running a delay box. I'd like to have a lockout for maybe 15-20 seconds after release to avoid a potential inadvertant brake application down track. Anyone use one? Where can you get something like that, if it exists?
Thanks

You can use a latching relay which would require you to hold a second button when applying the transbrake. I think you could also wire a digiset timer to do what you want. If you ever need to release the brake and re-apply it while staging you are not going to like the timer idea.

Jag, I put my button on the tranny tunnel, to the right of the shifter. When I release the button, my hand immediatly goes to the steering wheel, then to the shifter. I found that the tunnel location was more comfortable than any of my other options. Sit in your car and try different places of putting your hand to see which is most comfortable.

They actually make one, or used to. I know some guys had them before all the fancy delay box' started to build them in.
Try dedenbear, or if it hit's me, I'll post it when I remember.

Thanks guys. I did think about the problem of staging, if I need to release and re-apply...could be a pain.
