But it isn't a proportioning valve.  It's simply a device that tells you if t=
he front and/or rear brakes have a leak.  I like the way it tells you AFTER y=
ou step on the pedal and it goes to the floor that you have a problem.  Duh.=
  :-)

There was a thread (sorry Jay) a few days ago on another forum about removin=
g the valve altogether to eliminate a possible leak.  You still run separate=
 front and rear lines but just eliminate the next to worthless warning light=
 shuttle valve.   =20
