Default Adjustable Brake Bias valves that fit in the stock location...

I'm running the 5/33 valve but want to move to an adjustable.

Can someone chime in to verify that the fittings are "10x1.0mm Metric flare (bubble flare) ports" and make a note of a valve that fits in the stock location? I don't want to run adapters for the fittings.

My friend had a Tilton with the lever adjuster, as as I recall he had to cut the lever down to clear the hood.

I was thinking of ordering the ****-adjustable one, but wanted to see if anyone else could in fact verify that it fits cleanly.



If you're running an adjustable setup (especially in-car) then please post pics ;-) All the threads I could find simply reference the 5/18-5/33 swap, etc.

I'm generally pretty good with fittings and threads and M10x1 is almost identical to 1/8 NP

Cool stuff! Too bad I doubt it'll work with ABS... (for my car)

Let us know how you make out!

Bring the adjustable brake bias valve inside the cockpit, not under the hood! It is EASY to bring it inside. Yes Van, it will work fine with ABS.

Dan, it's not legal, or "cockpit-adjustable" isn't legal?

They might sort of thread together but it would be hugely unsafe to do that for brakes. Assume it can even be bled. They seal in different ways and thus wouldn't be compatible for high pressure use.

Adjustable brake bias in not legal in PCA stock class, nor is changing the value of the valve that was used when the car left the factory. No restriction in GT. Of course it works with ABS.

I run one in my race car but I cannot post pics because the car is not at my home now. Getting a refresh at the body shop. The in-cockpit valve is one of the best things I ever did, especially when running in the wet.

Yeah - rules say:

Adjustable brake bias may not be added to cars not originally equipped with it.

I'm going to go ahead and bump this

Does anyone know if this or any other adjustable valves fit m10x1 bubble flares?

The metric Tilton valves use the same fittings as the rest of brake system.
