|
|
I've searched most of the site I want to install a p-valve I understand it should go on the frt brake lines how is everyone doing this? Mine is a Sand Flea and once the hood goes on it there it requires a few bolts to unmounts and then the new paint I keep looking for pics but can't seem to find any everyone's photobucket is out of date. Just like a pic. I am putting my lock valve on rear brake system and am installing on tunnel beside frt seat for driver so I can set when we Park. Can the residual valve go in line with this? Any help is greatly appreciated |

You can mount prop valve anywhere you want to plumb it at. The thing to remember it must be between the master cly and where the front lines t to the r+l sides. I would want mine where I could adjust it as conditions dictate while driving.(street legal woods buggy) _________________ My cut in half and rebuild thread

This is where I ran mine. I put it in line with the brake lock on the front wheels by the shifter. I ran a line in front the master to the valves and then out to a T fitting (I used a stock VW rear brake T) that split of to the front wheels
Put the residual valve as close to the rear brake T as possible so it holds pressure in as small a part of the circuit as possible
