1990 lx brake proportioning value leaking ?
 
Hey guys, I recently discovered that the value is leaking and I am trying to find a replacement for the stock one I don't fully understand how it works so i'm not really wanting to play around with it. When ever I look for a new one they all have 2 ports and are adjustable and not four like the stock one. Thanks ,

Thanks

There is no free shipping on this side of the border . just an fyi .

Did you just put in rear disc brakes ? I have never seen an adjustable valve used on a stock disc / drum setup .

Not for street use . per instructions . So i assume this is a race car only ? If you are in a accident and say it is your fault and the insurance company goes over your car ( and they will ) They find this and cancel the policy , where do you stand on paying out the damages on someone elses car and person ??? Just saying that if insurance can get out of paying they will .
Now while working on your car did you hit the valve at any time ?? The reason i ask is could it just be a cracked line going into the valve itself ?
If you can find one in a wrecking yard just use good side cutters and remove it re & re at home and then bleed the system . It's a good idea to replace brake fluid every couple of years do to moisture in system .
Got a pic ? if you can .

Nope not that I know of... what if I gut it and plug the end.. Would the insurance know the difference.
I was thinkin it would work because no one says anything about it online.. And thanks for the help

As far as I know the insurance company would still be responsible for any damage that occured to people or property but they would decline any coverage on the policy holder and their vehicle. Maybe I'm wrong and maybe it varies by province.
