I have added rear Wilwood disc brakes to my existing front disc brakes. I am planning on installing a Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve but I am not sure where to put it. If anyone has installed one and wouldn't minding sharing a photo or description of where you put it I would appreciate the help.
Where did you install your adjustable brake proportioning valve?

I put mine right next to the driver's seat so we could adjust it on the fly.
Thanks Brent. I plan to do a little drag racing with my car. Now I have to decide if I want to put one in my car or live without it. Guess I should decide before I make the brake lines otherwise I will have to re-do them if I decide to put one in later.

No problem. Now is the time to do it if you're plumbing everything else. The one I linked to has the brake line installation kit included. If you don't need the tubing and fittings then this one is about $30 cheaper: http://www.jegs.com/i/Hurst/530/174-5000/10002/-1
A lot of peeps who road race do this. I thought about it, but wasn't really going to go there often enough.
1/8 in bar stock with some holes!
Here it is with the lines installed. Everything clears and the rear line was coming up from down there anyway.
Don't even ask how many times I went to the hardware or auto parts store to find fittings to make everything work. What a PITA! :yes:

Just an FYI
I followed my own advice as mentioned in post #12.
As part of a few winter projects I replaced my front to rear brake line with a pre-bent set. I ordered the 2 piece line option with the intent of moving the adjustable valve to the frame rail.
All that was entailed was to cut ~1" from the front piece of the line , re-flare and mount the valve to the frame rail. Very simple. Your experience might vary a little based on your choice of valve. Mine is an SSBC.
