Title: Wanted: 88 Brake combination proportioning valve block
Post by: mweldon on January 14, 2021, 03:56:20 pm
Looking to create a simplified diy version of arron88's (see fiero.nl) adjustable proportioning valve with as many off the shelf parts as possible using this one for bench work.

if anyone has one in working order they're willing to part with or sell, and maybe even get it back... drop me a line here..

Sorry, I don't have an extra one to share.
But if you start producing these, I'll happily purchase one (or two) from you. The 88 - at least mine - has a very heavy front bias.
(Yeah... I know that's by design, but mine is ridiculous, to the point that I've thought about buying wider tires.)

I would also buy one.

The people who bought one from arron88 don't seem to want to sell.

Nah, probably won't produce but will share or sell plans/instructions to make everyone's own.  I think I can cobble something together out of mcmaster carr components with as little or no machined parts as possible..

Or at the very least I'll be experimenting with different springs  to increase rear bias.

Thanks TopNotch,

That'll work.  Could I paypal you or send you some money in some form to ship it to me?  That's a 1.5-3 hr round trip from Marietta depending on traffic..  Furthermore, I'll be giving it back to you once complete.
