Anyone have pics of an adjustable prop valve installed?

I've been trying to search for pics but come up with nothing. Its just easier for me to understand how to install one if I can see a pic of it. Where to get additional parts needed would also be useful info.

It's quite simple really..
the other thing is my line lock, You would just run your single brake line from the master cylinder into a TEE for the two front brake lines.

So, you get rid of the stock prop valve and just use a tee? Do some people keep the stock one and also use the adj prop valve?

Is your line lock going to a tee or does it tee off by itself? Little difficult to tell in the pics.

Can I get a tee from anywhere, like a hardware store? And probably can get brake lines from an auto store?

fronts should be 3/16" standard and the rear line is 1/4" standard. NOT METRIC.

Re: Anyone have pics of an adjustable prop valve installed?

here is mine installed next to the fuel filter. the stock rear drum combination valve stays in place under the hood, but the plunger and spring are removed from inside the valve.

if you go to a hardware store, ask for a 3/16 or 1/4 line, standard, you will get the proper thread.
