Brake Bias Valve - Stainless Steel holder.
Discussion
Stewert
Not sure if they were ever available as a part, but are quite easy to make with of a bit of stainless sheet and access to a drill press. I recently made one for my car. (Assuming you mean the bent bit of metal that holds the valve). Stainless is fairly cheap, I purchased some 3mm SS sheet off the Bay of Pigs (Item 321451312827).
Carefully measure the holes and get the valve at the correct angle and remember to gently heat the sheet before bending it.

I had a batch made some time ago, completely sold out.Not sure if they were ever available as a part, but are quite easy to make with of a bit of stainless sheet and access to a drill press.

Thanks Alan,
Got some carriers for your rear calipers so while I'm bleeding brakes it seemed like a good time to pick up this idea I had a while back but dropped for the "easy option" when Han had some stainless brackets made to the original pattern.
Did you post a link to a supplier of stainless fittings for braided brake hose a little while ago?
Have you ever heard of brake nuts for the rigid pipes being available in stainless? I'm really not getting obsessive but it's a bit annoying when you put nice new BZP fittings on and a matter of weeks later the plating is failing
guess the other option would be brass. And stainless is ideal for odd brackets and so on, make and fit, no messing around painting.
