Rebuilding Brake Proportion Valve
1 - 4 of 4 Posts
I tried to rebuild one once.... The piston was so badly stuck that I had to force it out with hydraulic presure. The valve contains Metric U-pac seals... Not a rebuild kit avalable (at that time) . I installed an adjustable valve from Wildwood. Seems like Ford had a replacement (1970 part#) for mega-bucks.

The proportioning valve from my 65 Gt was rebuilt by a specialty brake shop in Southern CA. I believe the kit was about $35 and labor $45. It works like new.
I soaked it in penetrating oil for several weeks before I dismantled it, and realized my skills weren't up to putting a new kit in.
Good luck.

Electric fan and controls for 67 with 20” radiator
Vintage Mustang ForumI’m caving in and finally switching from an engine driven fan to an electric fan for my 67 with a 20” champion rad. The flex-a-lite 398 syclone seems like a decent choice from what I’ve seen, but I’m open to alternative suggestions. I’m seeing a lot of conflict regarding the reliability of the...- 1

4 lug Scarebird disc brakes
Vintage Mustang ForumHell, Just wondering if anyone on this site uses or have used Scarebird disc brake conversion on their 6 cylinder Mustang. I am thinking of doing this, but have questions about if the stock 14 inch steel wheels will clear the calipers. The Scarebird site states if the offset is more than 3...- 20

Subframe connector installation question
Vintage Mustang ForumI’m going to get them welded on but have a bolt-on kit I’m installing right now. The rear is supposed to attach via a threaded hole on the rear subframe. Due to being 50 years old I assume, the holes don’t align between the connector and subframe. The subframe hole is shifted about 1/2” towards...- 9
