Does anyone have a Brakesmart brake controller?

I know they are out of business - I am looking for parts.

If someone owns one, I'm hooping you could look at the pressure transducer and see if there's any numbers on it.

I am reinstalling the Brakesmart I own and lost the pressure transducer.

I don't know if different trucks used different pressure transducers, but I have a Chevy.

    If I remember correctly they used two different ones, 1 for vehicles with air brakes and another for hydraulic brakes. I mounted mine solid to the tee instead of using the supplied hose so I can't move it to see any particular part numbers but here is a pict of mine that may help you out.

    Thanks for the info.... it helps immensely.

    After using a totally proportional brake controller, everything else (from the big-name brake controller manufacturers) does seem like "silly junk". LOL.

    I can't stand the jerkiness and delays caused by the other brake controllers when towing large trailers.

    I had this one on a 2001 Chevy. Good idea in keeping that Brakesmart working, instead of using the silly junk made today.
