Bill,
My mistake. I didnt understand where the other hole was until I read
Dave's post.
You didnt mention why you needed a new valve. If it is just that it is
leaking then I would encourage you to tackle the repair yourself. The
PDWA is really quite simple inside and only requires a couple O rings
and a new washer to repair it. I think I bought my O rings from TRF
but I am not positive. You might even be able to replace them locally.
If you decide to tackle the repair and need more specific information
on the procedure then just shout.

I think Dave has got it right. There are plugs at either end of the
valve
chamber, and one of the plugs is threaded to take a brake line. I
should know
after all these years that "replacement type" in Moss or VicBrit really
means
"was fitted to a motorcar manufactured in Britain after WWII and will
require
much pain, aggravation and departure from any semblance of originality
to fit
your car.". :o)
I'm going to send it back, pull the original unit and send it to Apple
Hydraulic. Another weekend lost. :o(

I got a replacement PDWA from victoria british. It has five ports
instead of
four. On one end is the plug for the valve. On the sides it has two
ports each
(front brakes and back brakes)n all of which are filled with plastic
threaded
plugs for shipment. Then, on the opposite end of the plug, there's
another
large black plug, with a green plastic cap like the ones plugging the
side ports
for shipment. What do I do with this end, as the TR250 only has four
lines in
and out of the PDWA?
Sounds like this one is set up for both front pipes to be connected
directly.
In other words, no tee further down for the front circuit. You could
either
send it back or you can try to find a plug to fit. Try an RV shop.
Since they
sell brake control modules for tow-behind camper trailers they might
have the
misc fittings you need.
