    I'm on with this soon, do you not have to run two lines to the back?, I thought it was a diagonally split system?.

    Are people using standard master cylinder or aftermarket?.

    Mines a Mk2 16v, would like to remove the bias valve on rear beam as well if possible.

    originally yes you have 2 lines down to the back. but a single line could be used with a T piece instead, if you keep the fronts on a split system means if you're unlucky enough to loose a circuit you'll either have 3 working wheels or just 1 front depending on which fails. your call on this one

    Why do you want to remove the rear load sensing valve?

    Because mines rotten and it would make a lot nice pipe run without it.

    Bias valve under the bonned sounds like a better option for me.

    I like having it, on a road car, tbh, but each to their own.

    I like the the 4 port M/C earlier in this thread, does that have 4 seperate pressure chambers I wonder?.

    I use Goodridge Built-a-line a lot at work, M10 fine and coarse are common fitting as well so should be easy to connect it all up with custom ends.
