But that brass PWDA is not a proportioning valve.  :-)
It's nothing more than a switch that turns on the warning light AFTER your brakes have failed.

Here we go!!!   Lotsa questions as I start reassembly....
1.  I cannot seem to find much info on the 4 way brake failure switch.  I know there is a little shuttle inside the housing but not sure how to set it up properly as I connect the 5 hydraulic brake lines to it.  Nothing useful that I can find in Bentley or my Haynes manual.  Also, this switch appears to be different than some of the ones shown in the manuals. My hydraulic lines attach to an "H" shaped  
brass(?) housing along with the line from the master cylinder. I don't find any online information on this set-up so any advice would be welcome.
2.  Wiring Harness....   I got a new one from Vickey Brit as the old one was awfully ragged with a lot of cracked insulation.  The wiring diagram in my Bentley manual doesn't seem to look anything like the color codes on the harness.  Anyone have any experience with these??--
