HI all,
What is the correct name for this car component?
You often see them mounted on the bulkhead behind the brake master
cylinder. They're kind of like a distribution point for brake fluid.
They resemble a matchbox-sized steel block with brake lines going in
and coming out to the various slave cylinders. Wot's the proper name
for 'em?
Cheers,
CD
Some cars have a separate "brake proportioning valve". This limits the
brake pressure to the rear wheels.
On some cars (French?) it a load sensitive valve with a link to the rear anti roll bar.
Others (Japanese?) it's on the side of the master cylinder.

I had one fitted to the rear anti-roll bar on a Fiat 124 - I believe
they called it a "tipping valve"
