Prop. Valve ?

Are the factory proportioning valves rebuildable? I'm asking about one for disc brakes.

Re: Prop. Valve ?

I have never heard of a rebuild kit either. I removed one from a jeep once and disassembled it. It was dirty on the inside and the o rings were wore. I cleaned it up and reinstalled it. It worked fine for about a month. ended up buying new one.

Better to burn out than it is to rust

Tim, I have not seen a kit to rebuild them but do know they are available as rebuilts or new --but they are pricy. You can use an adjustable one that are available in the aftermarket---street roders use them all the time. About $40-50. Sometimes you can pick up a good original in a pick&pull cheap. Make sure it is for a disc-drum setup as drum-drum are different. Huck
