[urq] To Tilton or not....

[The Corbs]

I have one, got it from Keith Anderson with instructions.  Easy install.

Essential if you mess with bigger brakes up front IMHO.

Still works fine for me.

Dear listers,

Well I'm on a brake theme with my urq lately!

My brake is valve is leaking quite a bit after the UPG excitement... A
replacement looks like $165 at Blau and similar at Clair etc. I am not
aware of any refurbishers?

I have heard that a few of you have fitted a Tilton adjustable bias
valves.
The Tilton valve is about $100, but involves modifying the brake line
plumbing a little: The Tilton is a two port device, the OEM valve has
three ports with a Tee joining one front line to the master cylinder &
bias valve (this must be a safety failure mechanism mentioned in
Bentley?)

So, should I go with a Tilton or is the modified plumbing not worth the
$65 up front saving?

Kind regards,

Paul.
