Default Billingsley Manual brake kit ?

I just ordered this and was wondering if a proportioning valve is suppose to be used with it. I would think so but I would also have thought they would sell one if it was needed to complete the kit?

I am not using one either. The master is set up so that it is not needed. I am still using the factory brakes. Will be swapping to Strange brakes over the winter.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. I have Aerospace on all 4 and wasn't sure.

I have the Strange drag brakes on all four corners with the manual master cylinder and no porportioning valve. They work great and save a ton of weight.

you dont need a proportioning valve unless your running lightweight brakes on the front or rear with stock on the opposite. If you have all stock or all aftermarket then your fine.
