When I ran a delay box, I had an electical plug on it that I could unplug and remove the box, then a plug with a jumper wire that I pluged in place of the box. Everything worked the same, except no delay. I also made brackets that mounted to the box and fit the roll cage halo bar and just used hose clamps to attach it. I could install or remove my box in about 3 min. I have seen some racers mount their box with velcro.
What wires need to be jumped will depend on which box you have.

well it depends on how it's wired to begin with. if the button you use to run the delay box switches positive power on to the box then you just need to take the wire that goes from the button to the box and connect it to the output of the box that goes to the transbrake and the two step. that way when the button is pressed it supplies power to both the transbrake and two step. when the button is released the power turns off to both so the brake releases and the two step turn off. there are however a couple different ways things can be wired to begin with so this may not be the correct answer, also depending on the original setup the button circuit might not be intended to carry enough current for the brake solenoid but i'm not familiar with the TF brake solenoids.

im pretty sure that the button gets power from the batery. i dont want to put a plug on it cause there is not a lot of room for one where the box is mounted. i guess there will be some trial and error with is. its an older box back from late 90's
