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bolts to unmounts and then the new paint I keep looking for pics but can't seem to find any everyone's photobucket is out of date.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)

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
