Going to replace the LSPV with this:
[IMG][/IMG]
It's a Wilwood manual adjustable proportioning valve. Adjustable from 100 - 1000 psi. Fully open it allows 100% brake pressure to the rear brakes and fully closed reduces brake pressure by up to 57%. Or so says the propaganda.
I decided to place it in the same location as the original PV, however you could put it in line of the rear brake line anywhere you want. I think most people like to put it under the hood just after the MC (Master Cylinder) however my truck isn't a DD and stays pretty clean so I think it will be fine there. I can access the knob easily through the wheel well and it was the least amount of work to put it there. I removed the mounting bracket from the LSPV and used it to mount the Wilwood.

One note: The Wilwood came with fittings that accepted SAE flare nuts not metric. I wasn't able to locate any metric to SAE adapters so I had to cut the metric flare nut off the Toyota line that runs from the MC and flare a new nut on. For the hard line that runs from the PV to the SS flex line I just made up a new line with one SAE end and one Metric end.

Once that was done I needed to plug the "T" in the fenderwell where the return line was connected. Again I couldn't find a 10mm - 1.0 plug.
I did find an adapter with a metric male and SAE female though so I used that and added a 3/16 plug to it. It's kind of ghetto but It will do for now until I can locate a metric plug.

The plugs Roger shows above work obviously, but I too could not find any when I did my rear disc swap...so I took the old 10mm fitting that did go to that tee and soldered/welded up the end of it.

I have M10x1.0 male and female brake line plugs available. They run $12.00/ea.:
