Damien,

I use this brake valve on my car, and can recommend it. It largely depends on what MC you use and brake piston dia's that you are using as to how much adjustment it gives.

Either way the price you have there is pretty good. I picked mine up for around the same price, but cash.

Well just to be different i recommend one of these alot more work but one hell of a better set up. Youre able to maintain the same braking pressure but able to balance it between front & rear also nothing in them that can go wrong.

I am assuming this is for a dual MC setup for front and rear?

Price when i got mine was around $120 & yes sure is for a dual master cylinder set up

Next problem is I have lost the splitter that goes on the drivers side strut for the front brakes.

Can I buy a smaller new one? or does anyone have a spare one? I got my coated in some really gay yellow and since lost it when I moved house.

Do the splitters have anything inside of them? or just a split port?

Thanks

Just a splitter, if you're going braided line you can get a tee, or probably even a Y.

That's a good price for the prop valve, I got told a lot more at a local go-fast shop and ended up buying one similar to the link from the US for about the same price when the dollar was good.

I have one of those wilwood valves ready to go into my car, and had one fitted in my old car. Worked very well, I'd go the tilton bias valve if you want one for burnouts as they have easier adjustment (flip a lever rather than turn a knob).

I already ordered the one I link, I got ahead of myself .
Just need to find this splitter now so I can finish the brakes this weekend

I am interested in your set up, as i am looking to run dual MC. What wheel size do you run/brake set up? And subsequently MC size?? I ask about wheel size as I was speaking to formula ford racer and he says you can get F3000 tyres off teams after one heat cycle cheap and they run a 13" wheel. Any hints?? It's all a compromise

_________________
It's all in the justification.

For those that are interested in a dual master cylinder set up heres some details.

Wheels are 13x6.5 hotwires and the brake set up consists of 232mm front vented rotors (corolla ae101 2/94-7/99 (dba711) squezed by volvo 4 pot calipers and on the rear is basically dead standard apart from mods to the backing plates for cooling and zed finned alloy drums. Remember all of this for me is restricted by class regs.

The dual master cylinder set up ive uses the tilton balance bar for bias and two 5/8 cylinders but these can be changed depending on driver preference of pedal feel and front/rear balance required.

Yes your spot on you can use F3000 tyres front ones only just take note of the profile and your diff ratio "tyres are gears too"

I'm also running the silver Wilwood valve. Works good easy to setup. The price on Ebay is pretty good. I bought mine for about $90-$100 delivered I think (was ages ago)

Do the Volvo calipers bolt straight up to the datsun strut(???) or did you make up brackets (dog-bones) to fit them?
