There are different part numbers for the pressure regulators on the 4 and 6. Anybody know what the difference is?

The difference is in the set point at which the "regulator" begins to proportion rear brake pressure.
914/6 has a lower pressure knee point due to larger rear caliper pistons 38mm vs. smaller 33mm pistons for /4.  I belive PMB can reset a /4 regulator to the /6 set point if need be. There are also two types (early & late) for /4's where the inlet and outlet ports changed location to accomodate different mounting locations between early and late. If you were going to try to obtain and use a /4 regulator for a /6, you would want the early version. |
