Default Rear brake Proportioning valve

Is this what I'm looking for? ( the bit in the middle, it feeds the rear)


Also For the flexi brake hoses, this bit on the donor goes to the caliper is it a concave fitting so i know what euroquip parts to buy?

Nope, the bit you need is only found on pre abs cars. You don't have to fit one from a Sierra, I am sure other cars use them. If you look in my build diary - www.deepfolly.co.uk you will see what one looks like. It is about 40mm diameter and maybe 60mm long, it is tubular in shape and has a 10mm fine thread fitting at each end. I can't remember where it was fitted in the donor car, my donor had ABS so I had to buy a valve off ebay. It cost me a tenner.
Hope that helps.
Enoch

Local scrappy James.....

10x1 mm is the thread size, differences in the pipe end are made with op1 or op 2 concave or convex.
