If you've got 2 pressure limiters in series it'll give whichever's pressure is lowest to the rear brakes. Just be careful that the new one wasn't added because the original doesn't work.

Gotcha--that makes more sense.  Thanks to the 'pips' it's almost a double redundancy.  Plus to lose the rears may not be as

noticeable initially as losing the front circuit.  Loss of the front brakes would get your attention in feel, yet you'd still have the rears

working to haul you down.   If you didn't feel the rears going, the subsequent loss of the fronts could be more catastrophic.

 

Well done again, and thanks!

And Ethel--  I get what you're saying, and if the rear unit is working the front adjustable would get overridden at a certain point

and not actually be doing anything.  -As if you were trying to let more pressure to the rears, then the back unit would reach it's limit

and start working again regardless of my adjustment up front.

 

It'll be interesting to see if that back unit is still 'awake'....
