I was installing non abs brake lines on my car and opened the rear port on the block and their was a spring inside of it. I’m not sure if anything flew out but rn all I have is the spring and the bolt that caps it off. I’ve heard you can take these apart but would I be ok to just put it back together and run it?

What year are you trying to put this on? Did your car have ABS before?

The spring is for the shuttle valve in the back half of the proportioning valve. The shuttle valve is a safety feature that restricts flow in the case of a line failure.

Whe you remove the rear plug and install the non-abs SN95 fitting you want to reinstall the spring to keep this intact


If anyone is wondering what we are talking about see this thread

Brakes - 3-2 port brake conversion using SN95 fitting

I’ve often referenced this method, but never had pics. Until now. When converting to rear disk, or aftermarket disk brakes, one needs to change the MC from the factory 3-port MC to a 2-port variety. Max Motorsports sells a kit for this, but there is another method, that is somewhat cleaner...
