Post Where do I mount this Wilwood adj. prop. valve?

I got this adj. prop valve for my rear brakes, but need to know the best spot for it..do I put it close to the master cyl., or on the frame rail? Also, do I need to make those curly Q things in my lines, like the factory does, or can I just make em the way I want? just curious........Thanks

I put mine on the framerail on the passenger's side. There was already a union there by the starter, so I just made an S-shaped line to run from the rear part of the line to one side of the valve and the other side of the valve just gets connected to the front section of the rear line. That way, I didn't cut any part of the original line and can get rid of the valve if I want to. Kind of hard to explain without a pic, but it's dark and raining outside. I'll post or send you a pic tomorrow, if you want one.

FINALLY got the HORNIAC...a '70 one ton Longhorn with a Pontiac 350/350 and lots of 'personality'. Check out The Longhorn Webite.

mine is right up there, about 2 inches away from master cylinder, works fine. Run hardline from master cylinder and tuck it up close.
