I've got a question regarding the earlier single brake line cars that
originally came with front drums... When the front brakes are converted to
discs should a different proportioning valve be used when running a modified
engine? Do these early cars even use one? My '62MKII seem to only use a
"4-way" union.
Thanks,
-Drew

Technical note -
Many don't realize that the rear brakes on any car provide only
around
30-40% of the braking force applied. In a car as light as a
spridget, for
street use, drums are plenty on the rear.
