Extreme Veteran Posts: 360 | Like 57chizler pointed out you should get a combination valve. It will come with lines that allow it to bolt and connect in the correct way to the master with a bracket and ends up being pretty clean. Combination valve in photo sits on the driver side of the master cylinder. From there you route the brake lines however you like. I would suggest getting a good flaring tool and some extra fittings. The fittings at the master and combo valve use a variety of different sizes so it can only be connected the correct way (if the combo valve came with the lines like it should). Again if you plan on keeping the rears as drum be sure the combo valve is made for disc/drum. If you decide not to get a combo valve you will need a proportioning valve for the rears, some fittings, and a tee for the front.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 360 | combo valves will work with any master provided its dual reservoir. Its just a matter of having the right fittings and pre bent lines. Otherwise bend them and flare them yourself and hook it up. Brake line routing and hookup is pretty simple stuff once you understand what its all doing. Lots of things interchange or can be easily swapped, just a matter of making the lines and pin from the brake pedal all connect properly. Getting the lines fully bled and correct bias to the rear end up being the trickiest part. That's my experience doing complete custom and stock brake set ups. | ||

Expert Posts: 3778 Location: NorCal | Any combo valve is designed to work with one specific car weight and center balance so it's a crap shoot to use it on anything else. The only other alternative is separate adjustable prop valve. | ||

Veteran Posts: 135 | Never heard of that before so you think i should just adjustable prop valve to the rear and be done with it | ||
