ive seen one mounted so the knob was where the cigarette lighter used to be... to be 100% stealthy, use the cicarette lighter as a knob....

Cool idea, although I guess I don't go around really looking for a prop valve, usually there are plenty of other clues for what a car is "up to." ya know? Cool idea though for sure. . .

Since my master cylinder is mounted under the dash, it made it real easy to install the proportioning valve under there as well, in easy reach, even when driving. The line-lock valve was also installed up there.

I ran the rear brake line through the inside along the left door sill and back out under rear seat area. I mounted the prop. valve just in front and to the left of the drivers seat so I could reach it and adjust the rear bias while
driving the car. The upholstery Wizard has to come up with a way to trim around it so only the knob shows. Maybe even a flap to hide it? I haven't
seen the car since Xmas.

If any of you guys have pics or threads on this I'd really appreciate it.

I'm working on my frame right now and welding up any unused holes so that's one reason for me to move the prop. valve.

Thanks !!!

This looks spiffy and looks like it should work with my hydroboost...

I mounted my prop valve to the subframe and the knob protrudes through the floor board just in front of the driver's seat. You can only see it if you are looking for it. Here are a couple of pictures:

I don't plan on adjusting it a lot. I mounted the valve in this location to clean up the engine compartment.
