jerryb Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Im thinking of adding a short flexible line off at the master cylinder in order to make it easier to install my proportioning valve (PV). Is this OK? Is there something I should be careful of? Im adding a Wilwood PV...my plan is to make a braket that attaches the PV to another brake hard line. I will be a small aluminum block with a groove in it that will go over the brake line. There will be two threaded holes in the block in line with the two mounting holes on the PV. I plan to bolt these together over the hard line and the flexible line will allow easier fit. OK??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I don't quite understand your configuration but, braided flex lines should be fine as long as they are compatible with brake system pressures and fluids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMWHYR0HEN Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I know some people use braided line from MC to 3 way T's or switches in 1 ft lengths or shorter. I say go hardline. Probably cheaper and, zero chance of the line expanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
