Could someone please explain the type of braking system that TVR used. Is it a split system, if so is this front and rear or diagonal. Also on the rear line where it enters the 'T' Piece is this a balance valve.

It's a tandem dual master cylinder, one piston feeds the front brakes and the other feeds the rear. There's a bias valve in the line to the rear brakes. On my V8S the bias valve is close to the master cylinder but I can't say where it is on yours. It's quite a bulky thing and not something that you would confuse with a T piece.

Thanks for the info, The line that goes to the rear has a cylinder about 2" long which goes into the T Piece at the rear I assume this is the valve as it's not part of the T piece it inline to it.
