Brake proportioning valve mounting
I am getting ready to mount my master cylinder, booster, proportioning valve, and start bending brake lines. My proportioning valve came with a bracket to mount it directly to the mater cylinder. If used, the proportioning valve will hang to the left and slightly below the MC. Anyone know if I will run to clearance issues with the headers/side pipes if I use this bracket?
Thanks |
I don't think you will have issues with the header or sidepipe. You may find it difficult to have any access to your clutch master. I made brackets so my side louver is removable and I have seen access panels inside the the front wheel well on a Superformance car to gain access to these tough spots. My proportion valve is mounted on the fire wall below the brake MC. I also have a heat shield to protect the brake and clutch lines from the header heat. Hope that helps.

SGR,
Do you have a manual? Most are mounted in the location shown in the manual. |
Ah.... If I may- do away with the multi use PIA. Order a "Adjustable valve from Jegs, summit, MB Brakes, Autozone, etc. put in the main feed to the rear brakes, mounting it to the firewall. (Very, very) simple/clean. Open it fully when you start your test drives then close it slowly at first until you can feel the front end just dipping. Then with your harness fully attached and mounted go , oh, about 20 mph and lock up your brakes-hard! when you have the system adjusted and installed properly all four brakes should lock without throwing you through the windshield!
Just a thought.. DV |
