Re: calling all brake experts
I like using www.performanceonline.com.
If I was doing, what you are doing,... I'd purchase a M/C porportioning valve combo. They sell an aluminum bodied M/C (no need to paint or look at a rusty M/C later!),... and make sure you get a disc/disc porportioning valve. 3/16" line for the front brakes, and usually 1/4" line from the rear port on the porportioning valve to the rear axle.

Re: calling all brake experts
thanks, i was really concerned with the rear line dia. does it still need to be larger since it is going to be a disc-disc setup. it is not a big deal, i just want to bend these lines once if you know what i mean. are the prop valves setup already for the diffrent lines or can you neck it down so i only have to buy one size line, thanks for all the help again, daniel

Re: calling all brake experts
CPP has their MCPV-1, which is a Master Cylinder, porportioning valve, brake light switch combo. It's basically an all in one setup. It's chrome and is a nice setup. Call Jeff and get a sick deal on the rear disc kit and the MCPV-1 combo. CPP and performance online sell the same rear disc kit.
