OK. The front-end rebuild is complete. Of course I decided to put on new calipers and hoses during the process. I noticed that I had a glop of rusty sludge in the hose fitting and decided that the Master Cylinder and Prop valve should probably be changed. I am sure that they are original equipment and my brake fluid is a little rusty looking although the inside of the Master is not rusty/scaly. The previous owner put braided lines from the Master to the Prop valve and also to the front brakes. I will probably end up putting in a new line to the rears since it is probably rust-welded to the Prop valve.

My question is whether or not anyone rebuilds the Prop valve or installs a new one. Inline Tube has a combination Brake Warning/Proportioning/Metering Valve assembly for $95.

Thanks
