Alright folks, after a short 15 year hiatus from the site/mustangs and a fresh new "v2" username due to a lost password, I am back in the game and tackling how I want to approach my 5 lug swap. Namely, the 3-to-2/stock proportion valve changes - I want an OEM quality & look, so a few scenarios I think get us there:
1. Gut the rear of the stock prop valve, tap the back of stock prop valve 1/8" pipe thread, find an adapter with 3/16" ISO flare 10mmx1.0 metric female, and a 1/8" pipe thread male. Bend the stock driver side front brake line 90*, and plumb righ into the rear of the prop valve.
Does anyone have a part number/manufacturer for this type of fitting?
2. Gut the rear of the stock prop valve, tap the back of stock prop valve 1/8" pipe thread, use the combo of:
-
Edelman 262010 (10mmx1.0mm female bubble flare, to 3/16" 3/8-24 inverted flare male)
-
Allstar Performance ALL501120 (3/16" 3/8-24 inverted flare female to 1/8" pipe thread) Bend the stock driver side front brake line 90*, and plumb right into the rear of the prop valve.
3. Gut the rear of the stock prop valve, tap the back of stock prop valve 1/8" pipe thread. Use
Allstar Performance ALL501120 (3/16" 3/8-24 inverted flare female to 1/8" pipe thread) and reflare the stock driver side front brake line to use a 3/16" 3/18-24 inverted flare fitting (
any will work). Bend the line 90*, and plumb right into the rear of the prop valve.
4. Go the tried and true MM 3-to-2 kit
I think the most realistic/cleanes is #2 above, as I don't have to reflare anything, and the fitting described in #1 appears to be non-existent. My questions are:
a. Tapping the stock PV (well, the stock plug on the stock PV) for 1/8" and using a flare adapter, will this seal properly or am I missing something?
b. Could I avoid the 90* bend if I use the 93 Cobra brake lines? I may replace all of my hard lines with a kit, but I'm unsure if the 93 Cobra lines uses ISO or inverted flares on the front driver side line (PV side).
