I took my proportioning valve apart because the rear drum brakes were locking up before the front discs. After cleaning all the rusty looking sediment off the internals, and brushing the inside of the housing with a brass shotgun brush, the brakes are much more reliable. Still not sure how it...

I just ordered these parts. I just couldn't stomach the idea of $90 and up for this simple part.
Could you give an update on whether those parts fitted? I have a 87-89 (non-US) proportioning valve which may need re-sealing. Thanks.Thank you so much for this information.
I used them for my valve.
