Slick 60's

Im thinking about this proportioning valve from POL with the Speedway disc conversion.

Has anyone used this? It looks like it would save some work fabricating and bending lines and solve the stop light switch problem as well.

Also offered with the M/C for a Mustang, I don't see why it would not work on a F100.

Im sure it can be done for less money, but I like quick and easy when possible.

Looks interesting! Anyone willing to throw down the money and try?

I had this system on my '57 F100 but it was power. Seemed to work good.

I was probably the first to put disk brakes on my straight axle and I love them, even without power. But you do need the Wilwood style adjustable proportioning valve on the rear brakes. Go for it.

I am not certain what is pictured is a brake lamp switch, based on location and the single wire. It appears to be a brake failure switch activated by uneven pressures in the separate systems. A brake lamp switch, mechanical or hydraulic, can easily be added to the new system; if using a hydraulic unit, I would strongly advise against one which operates off lower pressure than the original. Residual valves are often built into the master cylinder, and may approach the operating pressure of the switch if installed on the drum brake line. Ford's combination valve offers several advantages over the aftermarket ones, IMO, although not adjustable. I seldom use an adjustable unit; preferring to balance my system via sizing of components, then relying on the stock style valve to provide any needed bias.
