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? |

Spongy brakes after rebuilding the calipers is a plague few professionals, much less amateurs, have avoided. I once sent a guy with a '67 911S off on a thousand mile round trip with a TERRIBLE "pedal". He absolutely HAD to be at work that night.He called me 6 hours later from way out in the sticks in Northern California, raving about how good his brakes were. I'm gonna ask this again: Did you go back and fix the venting?
Now, for the Krustiness. If you ask us, a group with an IMMENSE accumulation of knowledge and experience on 914s (not to mention a lot of other stuff), and you ignore our answers, you're gonna piss us off, and the spigot will close, and you'll not get any more help. I've seen it happen. The WORST thing you can do to me is shop a question around (after I've given my carefully considered and worded answer, based on my 35 years professional 914 experience) until you get the answer that confirms your preconceived notions. I WILL get rude to you in front of everybody. It's a good thing you're on the right coast; You're unlikely to be driving behind me or someone I care about ....................... The Cap'n |

If you go back and read, I only responded negatively to the folks who had nothing to add except pablum and insults. If you can't answer my question, or just want to throw in a jab, don't post!
I did respond politely to those who provided the requested information. Yes, the venting has been adjusted. Now, for the Krustiness.
