Really as title, I'm in urgent need of a brake pressure limiting valve.

 

It's to go on a MK3 car so will need to be the type that fits onto the rear subframe.

 

I also need it this week!!

I was reading an article on Keith Calvers site about these valves. Apparently you can run without one if you change the rear cylinders?

Problem is that this car has a servo and it is also used to tow trailers!!

 

There are ways to frig it and if it were my car I'd take the risk, however this car is a family heirloom!!!

I guess it's for Caz. Have you thought about using the adjustable one?

Maybe the existing system is correct without the valve. See http://www.calverst....ias-adjustment/

Yup, well aware of the ways to try and make it work.

It's just not the way to do on someone elses very expensive car.

Have you got one yet? I sure I have a non cooper type - just need to put me hands on it.

I will dig deeper if you are desperate

I've got an adjustable one now, it's not my first choice but it a hell of a lot better than nothing!!

 

Cheers for looking though dude.

 

Did you ever get the brakes sorted on the Mk3?
