Winner! That is what I ended up doing, still pretty tight space to push through firewall but worked in less than 10 minutes ugh! Have a link for the build?

Rene, LED's look sweeet!!!!

Click on the green film strip icon

It gives you a pair of UTUBE in [UT].

Paste the end of your address after the = sign (in your case, UACCQ-HWfuM&sns=em) in between the [UT][UT]

K Guys, I really need some help. Got my master cylinder and prop valve in today, supposedly this is supposed to fit my car, but the prop valve hits the fender well bracket. I'm thinking I'm gonna have to fab up some kind of bracket, is this the best idea? nothing ever goes easy!!!!!! I also need new brake lines, as these all connect in a different spot compared to the last prop valve.

can this prop valve be turned and mounted with the side facing down? thats the way the original one was. Please help!!!!!!!!

Would it be ok to mount the prop valve like this? I don't know if mounting it differently effects performance.

Rene,

I normally skip the prop valve bracket altogether.

I'm using a booster on my 69 camaro & 68 bird so the prop is a lot farther forward. I've havent seen that master used right up on the firewall before. Maybe do a little tube bending to get the bend closer to the master? I bent a few of my lines so they would line up with the master. The prop bracket was a pain to use but I bent the lines to mate up to it. Scott

you just let the lines hold it in place?

this master supposedly works with manual brakes, in fact they say that because it has a 1 inch bore that it makes the manual brakes feel pretty good. I'm feeling kind of deflated at the moment. I was really hoping for a simple plug and play kind of thing, but what was I thinking!!
