The proportioning valve story is a little more complicated than that.



NA6 and NA8 are both seriously underbraked at the rear - this shows why you should fit an NB one.

manga_blue yes the proportioning valve story is a little more complicated than what I have put on the forum, but it should suffice for the moment.

I already have NB8B fitted, however it is running on a NA6 master and booster but the NB8B proportioning valve.

I'm trying to do some calcs hence trying to collect some more information. I know from my data logging that front lockup happens at about 780 PSI, however I do not know how much KG on the pedal it takes to generate the 780 PSI.
