1964 Valiant "Get Runnin & Drivin"
Puttin the disc brake master cylinder and proportioning valve on Vixen now. It would have been a total bolt on, were it not for the front brake ports on the valve being 7/16-24, instead of 3/8-24 like the distribution valve. The port for the rear brakes is 3/8-24, so no need for a change there. I cut the two front flare nuts off and will get some 7/16-24 flare nuts for 3/16 tube, slide them on and reflare the line and then put it back together. I thought that was strange, especially considering the tube size in the port is still 3/16. The later model proportioning valve even bolts on right where the original distribution block was and the lines don't interfere with a thing. Oh well. I'll git r did.
