Pictures please......Wilwood Combination Proportioning Valve

[challenger_73]

Hey all,
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I am installing my Wilwood Combination Proportioning Valve, Part number 260-11179. If anyone has pictures of how they mounted this to the body and any modifications to the Brake Lines coming into it from the Master Cylinder and going out to the Calipers it would be appreciated. Thanks much!

It's been awhile, but I do remember having to cut off the ends and use different connecters for the brake lines.
Hope that helps?

I'd try it first. I installed mine when I was building my car " just in case I needed it" I have never used it yet, its always been wide open.

I don't have the wilwood proportional valve, using the stock one, but I installed an adjuster for the rear brakes. Generally these cars lock up too early on the rears and the adjust-ability is a definite improvement on my car. In order to get the rears to brake properly I had to restrict the rear line pressure significantly. From Brad's response, that is not always the case I guess, so I think the adjust ability is good to have cuz every car will likely be a little different.

I'm guessing it depends on your brake combo? Stock rear drums did have a nasty habit of locking up before the fronts. When I had rear drums I used truck wheel cylinders to prevent this. Worked great! Now I have DrDiff's rear disc brakes and Viper calipers up front and have never needed to use the adjuster but it's there just in case.....

I have a similar experience to Brad, I've adjusted it slightly for the rears but barely.

Do you have stock rear brakes HP? If you do I'm thinking maybe the stock proportioning valve is the source of the problem (excessive rear braking force) for me.
