I've seen a few posts that mention replacing the proportioning valve for the rear brakes with a "tee".
1. Is it safe? 2. Is it street legal? 3. Is it useful if I'm retaining the stock brakes? 4. What is involved besides simply replacing the valve with the tee? Thanks, Ben |

QUOTE(jonwatts @ Feb 20 2003, 10:54 AM) What keeps the knob from turning by itself? Friction? Detents? This is the kind of thing that will kill my budget. I have a "T" from a bug that I bought at a swap meet for $2.50, but at $40 the Wilwood is reasonable (even tho it costs over 150% more). He he he. No Jon, your buying $800 worth of quarter panels as an impulse buy is what will kill your budget! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The Wilwood valve doesn't have metric bubble flare fittings - you'll have to get adapters at a bug shop. I can't remember if the knob has detents or if it is just stiff. Anyway, there's no concern about it backing out on it's own. |
