 How easy is it to wire GM brakes to both controllers in order that both motors cut out when only one brake lever is pulled. I'm sure it's easy but I don't(as yet) have the parts in front of me to work it out!
  Is there a diagram? :)

I just wired the wiring from the brakes, and connected with both sets of brake wires from the controller, worked fine :D

Hi andrew

First I thought it was easy, but now I'm slightly in doubt about the need for the brake to be connected to z terminal on both controller. I made a quick diagram. This is my suggestion and I'm pretty sure it's right. But I would like a second opinion!
