I was installing my Wilwood master cylinder last night, and it was a really awful time. I believe that part of it is from trying to use as much OEM stuff as possible.

Questions:

1) If i install one of these, can i get rid of that silly and annoying junction block next to the master cylinder? This master cylinder is dual reservoir, dedicated front, dedicated rear.

2) Dumb question: Is there a guide for installing one of these things? Goes inline on the rear line, right?

1) don't know... probably. It likely has a shuttle in it that tries to lock out a front or rear leg if one develops a catastrophic failure/leak. 2) yes inline to the rears

Well... if it has that shuttle, it didn't work. The driver's rear caliper was leaking horrifically badly.

Thanks for the input!

Our proportioning valve kit deletes that block. Put the prop valve in the rear line, put a union in the fronts.
