run custom lines into a proportioning valve, better braking feel, adjust ability, and better braking overall. You have to run a line from the master to the front lines and then a customer line to the rear with the valve on it, usually sits right under the car where the frame startes to curve up.

Here is the close-up. The front ones aren't in cause I had the K-member setup to drop back out.

All you need are a couple brake fittings and a reducer from 1/4" line (for the rear) to 3/16" line and a brake T to split the front brakes

I just took it off of the 89 model and used a Flare Tool to adapt it. I had to drill out one of the fittings to run a bigger line.

Works like a charm
