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 I've seen a few posts that mention replacing the proportioning valve for the rear brakes with a "tee". 1. Is it safe? Depends. QUOTE 2. Is it street legal? Who cares? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) QUOTE 3. Is it useful if I'm retaining the stock brakes? Questionable. You'll have firmer pedal feel but brakes might not be balanced correctly. QUOTE 4. What is involved besides simply replacing the valve with the tee? Not sure how hard it is to get the lines to all come together at the 'T'. I use a $40 adjustable Willwood proportioning valve instead. Firmer pedal AND proper bias. Best of both worlds. -(the other) Ben |
