Rear brake bias valves... taking out the guts??? 140-160

And, what happens when I take it all out? Like the spring, and it's two retainers... If I empty it like that, will it act as nothing and not reduce the bias? I guess we're having trouble finding fittings that do the inverse thing to replace the whole valve and brake line in one SS line.

Also, got my carbs back from Rhys after having the choke cable connecter thing fixed on them. Look great! I'll try and start the 142 up in the next couple of days hopefully. Also was informed that I had been plugging some little fittings on the carbs that I'm supposed to have left open to the air... w00ps!

So after the brakes are done, the 140 will be up and running again, although without registration, and with a still leaking gas tank... I wonder how much gas is still in it. I'm wondering if I should just toss a fuel cell in there, get the current tank repaired, or convert to the one out of the '72 145(and have it cleaned and coated inside). The car will be strictly a weekend only/track car, and I'm in no rush whatsoever to get it up and going again, meaning, probably even summer 2007, as I'm currently trying to "build up" my Daily Driver.

Thanks!
