Cheers Jim, helpful as ever, much appreciated, I was going to suggest using a H configuration of pipe work to like a single valve in but that would eradicate any split diagonal safety feature so best not mess
So if I need to fit a pair, how do I know they are set equal? I know I could rolling road them but this will only measure brake resistance and not force of the fluid, any ideas? At this rate I may just stump up for some ford valves and be done with it Don’t suppose anyone knows by how much the ford valves drop the pressure by?
