Can anyone ID this brake part? It's inline to the front brakes only. I've never seen such a thing. My pal Eric at PMB thinks it's a residual pressure regulator meant to keep some brake pressure on tap for a firmer pedal... News to me...

That thing looks like a Safety Braker. In the 70s, people put them on sports cars and racecars. Not sure if they did much really, and it's probably old enough I wonder if it works anymore.
