Proportioning Valve Relocation Lines?

I would like to run headers and to do so will need to relocate the combo/proportioning valve. I don't just want to unbolt it and shove it to the top. Access sucks. I want to use a kit to mount it on the master cylinder, which is sold everywhere. My question is does CPP or inline tube have front line sets that work with this so I don't have to add any couplers or make new lines? Part numbers or links would be great. The inline tube site seems to suggest their kit does this, but I am not sure. How many other folks have done this?

I've been wondering the exact same thing. There has to be folks out there that have done this. Please chime in if so!

Thanks

Right Stuff and ILT sell line kits with the combo valve bolted under the M/C. Unfortunately, each one of these kits is designed to fit the location of the combo valve with THAT vendor's bracket only. There are an infinite number of possible combo valve locations and thus unless the vendor knows exactly where the valve is, lines can't be pre-bent.

Just call right stuff detailing and they will tell you what you need.

I just did this with parts from Inlinetube. Turned out very nice. The valve mounted directly under the m/c. There are two new lines to go to the two front wheels (disc) and a line that goes to the rear down around where the old lines all hooked up. I had to cut my old rear line in a spot add a coupler and flare and connect it to the new line. Worked pretty slick but had top massage the lines a bit.

I have just purchased a front disc conversion kit from the Right Stuff and, as mentioned above, they also have everything necessary to avoid piecing the new system together. I'm going with a manual set up so I'll be changing the master and it has a new prop valve that mounts to it. They sell a new hard line kit that will replace everything, front to back, similar to the factory lines but connecting to their new master and prop valve.
I did a fair amount of research and comparison shopping and this seemed like the best/cleanest option to avoid splicing to the original lines. Also, I've used their stuff before and have always been very happy with their quality and service.

I think I bought the valve from ILT and coupled some nickel brake line on to the rear line.
Used the same tubing to do the fronts.

I have to do the same setup, except I'm mounting the portioning valve next to the Master Cylinder.
What size/thread Bake Union did you us for the rear line? and do you have a link to purchase one?
