Does anyone know some donor applications for converting from the stock diagonal split Proportioning valve to a Non-diagonal split valve?
This would be on the S-body (minivan SWB).
I considered a Wilwood unit, but can't seem to find one with metric threads.
Thanks.
Stupid question but why metric threads ?
Stupider question: aren't the stock threads metric?Quote:

Some of the ABS stuff has metric threads. Most all of our stuff is 3/8-24 and on the prop valve there are two 7/16-20 ports to prevent someone from installing the valve backwards.
Well great! Here I was thinking it was metric. I didn't do the brake line replacement, my brother did that for me before I ever picked the van up years ago.Quote:

Thanks for that info!
the stock threads are standard.Quote:

the car is not a daily driver and i can turn the rears down alot more than the stock prop valves will do.
when bedding in the pads, i let the fronts fade till the rears locked up and then backed the rears off a bit. i dont have end swap issues. i also meticulously maintain my lines and hoses and make sure my e brake with lock the rears.

Thanks Brian.
One thing that is on my to-do list is install some linelock solenoid, and I'd like the diagonal split to go away.
Here is the valve I was looking at by Wilwood. And it is on sale through Prime!

Note that there are now hydraulic handbrakes that can run 2 lines.
