Hi Guys,

I'm using my donor's master cylinder, it has 2 outlets, and used to feed to an ABS controller. As I'm not using ABS, and my rear discs are actually bigger tha my fronts (for now) what i want to do is just use one port, and fit a knob type brake balance valve to reduce pressure to the rears. So how do I blank off the other port securely?

BTW, I'm aware the balance vale is a fail on IVA but I'm building this car purely for the track so it's not a problem.

Why not use one outlet to feed the front brakes unrestricted and the second outlet to the rears via an adjustable restrictor valve.

If it's going to pass the IVA, you need a split system so use both ports.

Use a brake bleed nipple?

I like it, simple but effective.

The only other thing I had thought of was putting a hydraulic stop light switch in there.

Thanks!

would still be a good idea to go split anyway!
