Agreed looks great just lacks a few details ( part number - dates and such) it looks like.

Interesting choices on the dyed line nuts thought those four were the same size. Guess I need to double check that ;).

     The BLUE are 3/8" and the RED are 7/16" so the fitting sizes are correct.  If mine every had any color it was long gone by the time I got there.  But, I think, the colors are a nice touch.  Brian

I have purple on some of my originals - have to measure the threads to see what size they are

I hope these end up being more reliable than comparable GM and Mopar reproductions. I have a steady stream of customers who go back to rebuilding an original valve when their new repro starts to leak.

No matter what, at least we now have a source for a new proportioning valve piston! The check valve often gets damaged when people try to push the piston out during a rebuild.
