I think my front disc brakes [new and upgraded] are locking-up way before
I'm getting full stopping power from my rear drums [shoes, cylinders in good
shape, with no air]. I'd like to install a brake prop valve, which I
understand gets spliced into the rear brake lines. Question is: Am I right
in thinking that the prop valve can only decrease the pressure to the rear
brakes, and if so, where do I install it if I want more fluid flowing to the
rear brakes. Put it on the front brake lines??
Thanks for the help,

Gavin Ivory [...still pining to get into vintage race ... but in the
meantime, learning all I can, under the car and at Mosport/Shannonville
driving schools]
