copied from other thread for all to see::::

i found this out recently, but was hoping to get myself one before i told everyone in case everyone else beat me to them,

now why wouldnt you get a brake bias valve off the back of a volvo 144 gt deluxe, it has two under the back and the wreckers only ask $6, it takes a little bit of modifying to set it up with a tap type arrangement, as standard you need to put an allen key down it and turn

be carefull other volvos have them under the back but are not adjustable, ill try to get pics of the two types to make it easier for you guys,

please, for this tip, can someone please send one my way if they get two, i would really love one or even two of these for myself, my bro in law mannaged to find a couple of them but he gave them to other people, saying he would give me the next one, i wasnt complaining on the day because he gave me a spare set of hi-lux 4 spot calipers but now we are struggling to find another one

I know of this valve.
I shall enquire with our local Volvo wrecker to its exact availability

did it have to be the gt? I have access to a 144 deluxe which I could pull the brake bias off. its bloody miles away though so i want to fine out for sure first.

I've done this! It works great.

I took the adjuster screw out, welded a 1" piece of hex stock (end of cut off allen wrench) and welded it into the socket on the adjuster screw. Put the adjuster screw back in and mounted a 1" aluminum stereo controll knob from Radio Shack.

Attached valve to the pasanger side of the tranny tunnel by the gearshift and ran the rear brake line through the pasanger compartment.

Brake bias adjustable from the driver seat!

What year are these Volvo's? are they the ones made back late 60's early 70's?

yeah thats how you put a tap in em,

and yeah they are really old volvos, i think it has to be a GT, like i said all those old volvos had em but only the one model had adjustable ones

i should be able to get pics of the two types happening in the next week and can someone confirm the models they came on?

pretty sure what i said was right though

if it has to be the 144 gt then im out of luck because their as rear as rocking-horse #### in nz, maby i could convince one of you lovely aussy blokes to send me one

if i get some ill be ditributing but hey im struggling at the mo, will chase up volvo specialist one day and see how much they want and availability

ask if the later 240s came with them, their basicily the same car but improved and newer.

yeah will do, some dude told me the model number and after looking under quite a few ovlov's that was the only model we came across that had em
