Or you can buy the braided hose and Euroquip fittings on Rally Design or other places and build your own. The cost is about 60 pounds, plus shipping. But then you don't get the nice things such as the vynil top cover and the angled fitting for the rear hose to go around the upright. And Euroquip fittings are galvanised, not stainless.

I'm sure I've read that self build brake lines are no good for IVA.

Cheers

Sylvians brake lines do look seriously good - and his website is excellent - the diagrams etc are a great resource for thinking about routing piping, etc...

Hi Josh,

Brake proportioning valve for a rear discs roadster : the one from the Sierra donor is enough. If you want an adjustable one (knob), Rally Design sells the Wilwood one. It's a shame, because I could have send you one with the brake lines at a good price as we supply them too.
M10x1 brake T piece. members from the UK will tell you the cheapest supplier in your country I'm sure. I know Rally Design sells these parts too. Same than for the BPV, I could have supplied you one too.
M10x1 brake pressure switch : as a lot of us, I use the one from the VW Beetle, it is very cheap, easy to find, and fits perfectly. You can find it on ebay I'm sure.

Hope this will help
