Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Team,

Is it accepted that everyone just buys prop valves from Spidertrax (or Low Range Offroad) or is there some other clever place i should be getting one from?

Thanks,
Greg

Rumor has it that the prop valve used on Mini rears will do the job - but haven't tried one.

Its on the drivers side rear subframe and given the possible low cost nature of the beast should be worth a look. Almost stripped one as a "piece of interest" from a Mini at Centre Rd Self Serve Wreckers... but its gone now.

Appears to be adjustable under a screw off cap.

If you try it let us know if/how it works. - A mini forum might confirm this.

Jegs have a range of prop valves as well Greg.

Jegs High Performance - Proportioning Valve

Thanks for the replies team.

I'm a bit cautious of using the mini prop valve idea though... it would clearly break the "if not suzuki, completely custom" rule.

yep, Ive seen a mini prop valve converted to adjustable. It had a hole taped through the cap with a little "T" handle threaded through it to work the valve inside.
Try the VIC or NSW Mini Car clubs for info.
Also try RPM race gear.

mine was from rocket industries i think it was.

got it online.

what discs u using?

i have heard the mini one working too, but it has to be from a specific type of mini as not all of them were adjustable. Im using machined down sierra disks and ford corsair calapers and have no need to a valve at all as there is no locking of the rear wheels

VPW should be another source - I think they stock wilwood.

How much is the spidertrax one ?
You know it will work if not to many $$ I would simply buy it and drive.

VPW have them in stock for $63

Obviously owner supplies their own two little bits of hard line, but to get the whole thing for about the cost of shipping the spendertrax item is a win I think.

Sierra fronts...

It's not for me though - it's for a friend that actually has a car that gets driven.

I think i endup up at about $160ish AUD for the spidertrax unit (shipped)... our dollar is just not strong enough at the moment...

$160 less the $63 for VPW's willwood unit still leaves me with $97.

That should be enough to cover the cost of 2 double flares...

Castlemain Rod Shop is clearing some out the moment. Look like strange or wilwood.
