Brake proportioning valve

Ok can't take credit for this one so if you want to see where I got the idea from on a Miata, go here:

This is on my FC. This is for people like me that don't want to make custom brake lines & flares.

Here is a pic of the factory prop. valve, looks just like a Miata one:

This is the Wilwood valve from Flyin Miata. It comes with the correct adapters & a metric brake union. The Wilwood cable just buy from Summit or wherever.

Your going to cut the handle off. I used a dremel.

Here's the installed pictures. Make sure you use loctite on the threads. I'm going to add some insulation so the brake lines don't rub. Since I have hood pins, I removed the hood latch cable and ran the brake bias cable through that hole in the grommet. I mounted the **** to some old switch plate I made that I previously used for my homemade coolshirt system. It goes where the speaker used to be.
