Brake Distribution Valve

Hi I am looking for a Brake Distribution Valve for a Manta GTE standard Servo setup. I am unsure if mine is faulty as the rear brakes stay on when pedal is depressed. It is the valve that sits on the L/H chassis rail.

Thanks

I have a couple of them laying around as i normally remove them and run without it.

You can have one for the price of postage, or if you're not in a hurry i can get it across your way to Rutts as he's coming across to me sometime soon

They are actually a load limiting valve for the rear brakes, when the brake pressure gets above a certain amount it lowers the rear pressure to stop the rear brakes from locking up.

Never had a problem locking the rears with this removed with any front brakes, and discs or drums on the rear.

Unless i pull the hydraulic handbrake of course ;)

Thanks for the replies guys. I have got new rear axle hoses, banjos and nuts arriving tomorrow.

One of the guys in Germany told me about a damper valve in the master cylinder for the drum brakes, I should have removed it when fitting the rear discs.

Gary I will send PayPal now, completely forgot.
