You would install it on the airline from the airpack that feeds the gladhand to get proportional brake control. Looks like you still would need 12v.

I had a short reply in another post about a brake controller. Other's have posted about their controllers.
Mine's 12v, gets power from the first battery. Only difference was wiring the brake signal to the controller. Used a 24volt relay, and hooked it to the brake light switch. When the...
I know mine is pretty slow on 24volt. Don't think 12v would start it. If you don't modify it, I'm sure there are 12v starters for that motor, it was used in civilian applications.

Dang dude, your 15 min away from me. Friend of mine saw a deuce heading over the tracks into galion the other day, and wondered if it was me.... I'll shoot you a PM.
