The residual valve maintains enough pressure in the rear circuit to accomplish this. Without them, you would have a difficult time getting and maintaining a good firm pedal without a lot of pedal travel. Once again, there are some really great sites that take the mystery out of brake conversions: http://www.ecihotrodbrakes.com http://www.mpbrakes.com http://classicperform.com Hope this helps. | | |
