Does anyone have the experience and time to briefly describe any needed tricks to delete the brake compensator on an early car / This, so as to make way for a 6 engine mount?
Things like / Is more brake line needed in addition to the "tee" fitting? And is the tee a hardware store item or another "porsche-priced" item that would be metric, brass, and overpriced by 3x?... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) Sounds like a good time to change out all brake fluid as well. I have heard the warnings if one is running 914-4 brake calipers / I am not and have nice beefy 911 calipers which will do the job up front verses in back. Thanks in advance.

So far it seems that the valve is designed for lighter stock type engines and trans combinations. Are there any experiences for the heavier drivetrains? The weight transfer issue is still there but would the heavier mid weight setup keep the car more stable or exacerbate the tendency to spin at the limit? I'm thinking that the car would tend to stay planted. If the brakes had been upgraded all around, they'd respond as designed with the additional weight being controlled with the valve if it was still installed. What are the racers doing with the additional power and weight on the track?
