72 Duster Resurrection
Switching gears, I am also have an issue with my brake system rebuild.
I bought a new complete brake line set from inline tube for a 72 all drum duster (what my car originally was).
I know I need an adjustable proportioning valve to set the pressure distribution for the new disk brakes that are going on my front. I also would like it to be able to dial in disk brakes on the back in the future. So I bought this wilwood adj prop valve:
Wilwood Brake Proportioning Valves 260-11179
I am now removing the old brake lines to put my new ones in. How do I easily integrate the wilwood prop valve into my new brake line set? The wilwood is meant to be mounted next to the master cylinder but that would mean having to hack up my new brake line set to run the front and back lines up to the master cylinder area. They currently run to the stock distribution valve, my new line set will want to do the same thing.
So can I just replace the stock distribution block with my adj prop valve and mount it in the same location? See picture:
I will have to get some brake line adapters because the wilwood valve has all small fittings and the brake lines on the car come in three different sizes.....but this should all work I think. Thoughts, anyone?
Have not heard from @moparmat2000 in a while. Everything ok with you man?
