No, never seen them, and not sure how well they'd work? Would have to mount the prop valve pretty high away from interference to be able to swing the handle. That one appears to be quicker adjusting, and not sure how well a coarse adjustment might work? Other issue I see is from my experience the adjustment is very fine, so it takes a lot of turns from stop to stop to make adjustments you feel. So it's not a case of just a 1/4 turn, or 1/2 turn to make an adjustment you feel. I just can't see making an adjustment on the fly, and if you stop to adjust, and then take off, it might not be enough, or too much. Just not sure how it would all work well, and be repetitious. Would also need to keep notes of where you started, so you can always return to the original setting. These valves are almost all 100-1000 psi pressure adjustable, with a max reduction of 57%. Lots of variation, but I found that with a disc-disc setup very little difference is needed from front to rear. Drums seem to need even less, as the rear drums don't brake as well already, and don't need much reduction.

 

Point well taken Val. The valve I posted is six position adjustable. Thats is. It kind of ratchets into the next place. See the star shape at the base of the lever. Anyhow, not my car were here to talk about.

 

I guess for a racing car the valve would be OK, just seems awfully easy to bump that and quickly change proportioning.

 

Thanks guys for your posts and feedback. Yes the MCVP has the 2 adjustable valves located easily reachable. One 1/8 allen wrench for maximum pressure setting and one 1/4 allen wrench for balance setting. It is a drive and adjust, drive and adjust but looks simple. I will adjust once and leave as is.

As well it has 2 ports outlets for the front and 2 ports outlet for the rear optional. But one is needed for the rear isn't it?

Where are you at with your car? Are you still in the research stage? Are you already buying items? Have you installed anything?

 

Almost every car build will only use one outlet to the rear and plug the others. My old Austin has a master with 4 ports, and in my situation I plugged one front, and one rear port, and only used one port for each destination. Any car equipped with a line lock wont use dual ports up front, (which is why the Austin only uses one) but without a line lock it's nice to run one port to each front wheel on a master with dual front outlets.

 

Thanks, point taken.

 

Hello Sudstoy and all. Sorry for not giving any updates from time to time! Feel like I am stuck in my camaro project. At the moment, I have very few time left for my hobby, busy at work and the only actual time left to do work on the camaro will be only few hours on Saturdays and few hours during the week on the computer doing research and learning things and ideas from great people on this forum.

Where I am with my car - At the moment, the car is completely disassembled and on a movable trolley. Had about 50% of the parts sand blasted and sprayed. I had to re-blast them all of them recently (still in this process) because the paint used after blasting was not of a good quality, ending up with a rash of rust on these parts. So now I am blasting them again and spraying them with a good epoxy paint.

Apart from this blasting, just finished removing the paint from inside the car and preparing to start removing the paint from underneath the car (a dirty job).

As well I have the 6" cowl hood ready from the fibre glass - Perhaps the 6" hood came without the base, I had to take a form from my stock hood (the lower part) and get the guy to install it. It came nice and will post pictures when I have the hood back in my garage.

As well, I have ordered the headers from Lemon. Soon will order the brakes system, the exhaust, the radiator and more. This will be all in one shipping from USA. But I am being very careful not to order the wrong parts.

That is all for now. I will post some pictures soon.

How are you doing with your 572 camaro? Any nice experiences? What brakes are you using?

 

Throughout the years that I've built cars, I've tried to figure out a way to stay motivated, and stick with a build. As often as possible I've always tried to get in a minimum of 15 minutes a day. That doesn't sound like much, but you'd be surprised how often the 15 minutes turns into several hours, and even those days when it was just 15 min. of making a list, or planning, it still was productive.
Give your project the 15 min. a day approach, and you'll keep moving forward, plus never end up with the project gathering dust in the garage.

 

Yes you are 100% right, every drop helps. And just as you said, every day I try to do something even very small like sending an email reply or an interested post on this website. I try to avoid leaving the project there untouched - even if I go in the garage and look at the car and think what is next, sometimes helps a lot. I know it is not an easy task what I am doing but with every little help from here and there, I will continue to move on.

The other thing that helps me a lot is my wife. She gives me courage and supports me a lot on this.
