I think gumby was talking about plumbing the rear brakes entirely in flex from the T. PS was suggesting hardline over to near the caliper and then a shorter length of flex.

correct.
if you want to run hard line and shorter braided lines near the caliper, jus grab an IF tee instead of the AN tee i have. run some 3/16 hard lines over to the frame rails and back behind the axle centerline. then run the braided from there.

Just use the shortest amount of braided teflon -3 line as possible. Obviously you have to run it from the frame to the front calipers like the stock rubber, and ideal is a piece from the rear frame/body to the axle housing, hard lines out to calipers and then short braided to the floating calipers. My calipers were rigid mounted Wilwoods.
Some Tee the hardline to both sides of the body/frame and then run a single piece of braided to each caliper, much like the front is done.
I was glad to see someone eliminate the stock prop valve.

by the time i would have made the factory prop usable the way i intended, it was more a manifold than a prop valve. i didnt see much use for an extra manifold

I'm surprised the guys at cornercarvers didn't explain about the aluminum yet.
Email me sometime, we can chat about roadracing.

no steel version of that tee is available. my other option was to add three more adapters and use a brass block. i chose to stick with the aluminum tee.

i did pick up my prop valve while i was there. man this thing is tiny!

ill add a couple more pics after i plumb it in. im still waitin on one 12mm to -3an adapter to get the master/prop plumbin finished up.

Sure.

Just hope we don't get flamed by dragracers, streetracers, and guys afraid to go over 100mph because they're scared or worried about gas mileage. :flame:

"Man that's tiny compared to mine."

Genetics? Ha!

Yeah, I wonder about that PV.
But they have been getting smaller.
I liked my Kelsey-Hayes and had it mounted to the tower.
As long as it works and will hold a setting.

Use the aluminum if you have to, but keep an eye on it. Did you check Aeroquip? Goodridge? Look at CVProducts and see if they have it in steel.

i will check those places as well. goodrich is also local to me, thats where my 12mm to -3an adapter is comin from.
i expected a prop similar to 32Vfoxbird's. i about ped myself when he set this one on the counter today. there is no good shot of the set screw to lock it down, but you can kinda see the side of it in the second pic on the right of the .

got the rear tee and lines placed, and clear of the IRS carrier tonight. IRS is in. i am a happy camper

ill secure the lines as soon as i know where everything is gonna set with the motor in place and everything, but this should be pretty close to it.

Wow..that is a tiny prop valve. I have one of the Wilwood ones I'll be using in the '80....and it's gigantic compared to that.
