I was one of the many people that ordered the manual brake kit from Unlimited1320 and have heard nothing but bad things about the setup. Since I already have the firewall plate from this setup, I would rather just buy the Wilwood MC with rod and be set. I was planning on getting the Wilwood WIL-260-4894. I will be running discs up front (Wilwood HD disc kit) and stock drums in the rear for now.
I plan on running a 10lb residual valve for the rear drums. Here is where I get a little confused. I have heard that some people say to remove the stock proportioning valve, while others have ran it and it worked fine. I have read previous posts and have heard some good and some bad for each.
Since I have the body off the frame, I have full access, so installation for the most part should be much easier. I already have brand new SS lines from the front to the back that are waiting to be installed (stock lines were shot).
I am looking for suggestions on which is the best way to go. I was not planning on going with a roll control now. If the stock prop valve is removed, I guess I will have to fab some lines to connect everything, or maybe a roll control installed now would help make the fab a little easier (connection point for lines without the prop valve).
Any tips or advice on this and brake line fittings in general?
