I read on this forum recently about someone swapping out their proportioning valve for a "T" fitting.
Does anyone know the size/thread count of the correct "T" fitting? Any fabrication required? |

People here are trying to help you out with real, time-tested knowledge and you're throwing it back in their face. You're talking about a system on your car that's crucial for safety. Cutting corners to save a few bucks in that department is just foolish man. Seriously...suck it up and buy a new p-valve or outfit your front brakes for the t. If you can't afford it right now, save up for a little bit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Nobody wants to hear another story of a wrecked teener.
