Proportioning Valve
« on: April 20, 2008, 11:43:58 AM »
For those that have done the  disc brake conversion for the rear, did you find it necessary to add an adjustable proportioning valve to the brake system or was the braking ample all the way around?

I'm just starting to install all my old lines on the project but figured I'd hold off till I find  out for sure.

When I installed my 8.8 I removed the seal on the shaft in the proportioning valve. Works fine now.

i've done a few 8.8 swaps, in xjs and yjs and never had to touch the proportioning valve.  brakes worked great!

Mine is the AMC20 in an '84 CJ7 but I think I might just try it first. Just didn't want to loss the oportunity to plumb it all easier when I'm at this stage.
