deceleration valve

[phillpot]

Brake bias valve, proportioning valve, call it what you will, what would happen if it were connected back to front

My guess is with pressure being applied at the outlet it would overcome the ball trying to roll up the ramp, still get through to the rear brakes so basically the valve would be totally ineffective... in a word, doing nothing?





just pondering in case anyone should happen to have theirs wrong..............

I would agree that you have a valid point there Mike.
You have keen eyes, Grasshopper.


But I don't think the lines to the brake bias/ proportioning/ deceleration valve will be swapped over before the S Club Spa Trek.
It's chucking it down out there.

I wonder if it's permitted to do the Parade Laps in reverse?

The Pork ones are a pressure activated "Knee" type which are in line like yours, (3 channel brakes so single line to the rear)
available in several pressure step point versions. They alow full braking up to the knee cut off and then reduced after that.

May be an alternative choice, but the testing to find the right value could be risky! / expensive! also metric threads on the Pork.

Looks similar to the unit used on Chimaera's?


TVR might be not have been up there with cutting edge technology but they had (half) discovered metric threads by the 90's
