Thread: Proportioning valve question.

Tweet

if you have a choice you would mount your master cylinder higher than your wheel cylinder so you can bleed your brakes. if you cant mount the master cylinder higher than the wheel cylinders, then you install a residual valve in front of the master cylender that will keep the fluid from draining back into your master cylender and lets you bleed the brakes. most master cylinders just mount to the booster, but most boosters are not flimsy so i dont know about that. you have a spring in your master cylinder and booster so i belive thats all the springs you need. ive hooked up a lot of brake and clutch padels and the reason im drawing a blank on the brake return spring i think is bacasue i didnt need one. teck 1 says he thnks you need a spring and he might be right but ill find out for sure tomorow and if im wrong then i will apologize. you shouldnt need a spring to pull the master cylinder piston back because you have the spring in the cylinder to do that, you might need to put a spring on the padel to keep it from flopping around or something like that but not to keep your brakes from locking up. i dont belive the ones that you mount in the floor has a spring on them.
