Bridge in place

A few more shots of the bridge...



Lower bag mounts in place.


And hers is the proportioning valve...do you guys think it'll work here or should I get an adjustable one like ocb_dave's got?


Let me know what you guys think...

THATS COOL DUDE, LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT A LOT ACCOMPLISHED OVER THE WEEKEND. ARE YOU DOING ALL THAT WITH A STICK WELDER? DANG WE HAD A STICK WELDER AND I TRIED TO USE IT BUT IT WAS HARD TO USE.

THE PROPORIONING VALVE I DONT KNOW ABOUT, THERE WAS A CROSS MEMBER BUILT FOR GAS TANK WHEN IT WAS MOVED UP A LITTLE BIT AND MY PROPORTIONING VALVE IS WELDED TO IT SO IM NOT SURE WHERE YOURS IS AT IF IT WILL BE OKAY....I WOULD IMAGINE AS LONG AS THE STOCK LINES REACH EVERYTHING IT WOULD BE OKAY BUT I COULD BE WRONG. EVERYTHING IS LOOKIN GOOD THOUGH.

Yeah it's all done with a stick...As for the proprtioning valve I will have to extend the lines approx. 12-14" due to going up and over the notch.

throw it in the bin.. unneeded

nice work it does look good

my proportioning valve is in the same spot on my bd'd toy....it works fine.

anymore updates??.... and what does the proprtioning valve do??

thats not really a proportioning valve.that ads more brake fliud to the back brakes when there is a heavy load in the back, (hence the reason for the dinky panhard bar) it is useless. get rid of it and get a proportioning valve off an old yota( i used a gm one. there is a bunch of threads on here about eliminating that valve. i dont want to be a search nazi but im lazy. i ran the two lines off my master cylinder into the top two inlet wholes on the proportianing valve. then out of the three ramaining wholes i ran one to each caliper then one to the back. eliminating the extra line to the back and that dumb ass valve. obviously you dont need to run new lines just make sure you get rid of the second line going towards the back where it T's off the right caliper line. sorry for the novel. or you can just search for the threads if u didnt understand this.

That is a proportioning valve. If you look it up in a parts book its called a "Load Sensing Proportioning Valve" or LSPV.

When I look it up in my book it is called " worthless piece of shit" hahahaha Just T the lines together and throw that thing in the garbage
