79 Spider 2000

Post by barnesjtsl »

I'm planning to install an ajustable brake compensator in the engine compartment by the master cylinder. In doing this i'm going to want to remove the stock brake compensator in the rear and install a bypass hose.

Can anyone give me step by step instructions on removing the compensator and installing the bypass hose?

Thanks,

John

I don't have a step-by-step but I do have photos. The hose shown came in a brake hose replacement kit from AR.

Remove old brake compensator and hook up hose as shown.

At master cylinder end, cut line, install fittings, bubble flare ends and mount adjustable pressure reducing valve.

Make pretty mount for new pressure reducing valve and install.
