Brake question
« on: Nov 20, 2005, 08:42:18 PM »
   I have a brake question.  I am preparing to mount an FJ master cylinder into my truck.  I have 4 wheel disk brakes.  I am starting from scratch and need to know brake line routing?  Is there any need for a proportioning valve?   Or can I just run the front of the MC to the front brakes and the rear of the MC to the rear brakes?  Thanks.  Jim

I have 4wdb and have run with and without a prop valve. Depending on your setup, you might need a prop valve for the rear only. However, if you install a m/c from an 80 series, you are good to go w/o the prop valve.
