Mico Lock is great - have it or have had it on 4 or 5 of my trucks, but never has been an electrically switched unit. All of mine have been a lever actuated cam operated plunger with brake line connections right on the complete unit, mounted either on dash or steering column support. Doesn't get much simpler and the biggest service I've had to do was replacing the o-rings in the unit. I don't have a spare at this time but I've gotta believe that you should be able to find one in an older service or utility truck. I just looked at the Mico site and I guess things have changed over the years what with split systems and ABS, but for our old Power Wagons with original (pre-'68) braking you can't beat the old lever lock for simplicity and durability, which is why we love these old trucks! Good luck and hope you find one, Joe
