some brake tech...

spork2367 · 07-17-2009, 12:16 AM

so, everyone is all about replacing their lspv with a new proportioning valve and new brake lines...or wire tying up the arm for the lspv...etc. well, if your brake lines are in nice shape, and your lspv is working properly, you can easily turn it into an adjustable proportioning valve and leave your brake lines intact. i had my lspv off, but it's not necessary to remove it.

i don't have the exact measurements, because i made it on the fly on my cnc mill (lathe wasn't hooked up yet), but if you aren't a moron, you could remake it on a lathe, or drill press out of just about any material you wanted.

the black plastic part in the one pic is the original piece held in by the c-clip that the arm goes into. the brass piece is what i replaced it with. it is tapped for a 1/4-20 bolt. voila.

Nice, clean and adjustable (great to fine tune, wire method not so much)

Thanks!
