Thanks Guys! I'm having a hard time waiting myself. 1BadBird, you beat me to it, I still want that as my tag though, lol. I bet some MN-12 owner somewhere here already has it though.

More parts arrived today, the MC and Booster are raw (oil coated), so they will need to be painted before I can install them.

New Dorman PWM's

New 84-86 SVO MC

Rebuilt '88 Mustang Booster

Tracking down all the needed adapter parts to connect the SVO MC to the stock prop valve now. Have found and ordered all from Advance, except the adapter needed to connect the 3rd brake line to the rear of the prop valve, where the pressure sensor used to go (going for a clean install, so I'd rather not use a standard brake tee to connect the two front lines). Looks like it is gonna be a pita to adapt.

Once again use a trailer adapter. Simple clean better and wiser to do it than those ridiculous 3-2 adapters or whatever they call it!!!!!!!!!!

Trailer adapter once again for those interested in a clean install to a single pair of lines. One rear one front!!!

This photo is from my PLOW truck so it is a bit rusty. But i removed the ABS ans used a trailer adapter to simplify the line setup.

They do not make ISO trailer adapters as far as i know so this is another way of doing it

The SVO cylinder is the way to GO!!! Good luck !!!

It is not a pain to adapt any brake setup. What i do for what it is worth is use a trailor adapter shown above and do all your front cross overs at the frame on the drivers side. You have inverted 45* flare if memory serves me. And if not ISO is a snap to make lines for. Remember only one line goes to the rear and when i do it i rip all the stock py valves and adapters out. Install a WELLWOOD adjustable valve in the rear line and call it a DAY. Throw out the differential combination valve that came with the car and start out new. Installing all the factory stuff in my opinion is a waste of time effort and complicates the system. Make a bracket to mount the adjustable valve plumb it to the rear line. Then make a cross over for the right caliper at the drivers side near the left caliper hose and run one line to the master for the front system. DUN and all that is necessary is to adjust the front to rear bias with the valve. SIMPLE CLEAN and a no brainer!!

Here is one i set up for my car!!! One port for the rear one port for the front. SIMPLE and none of the factory valves to complicate the MOD!!

Here is a good photo of a TRAILER ADAPTER for those interisted

Something else to consider. When running a 2.3 front mount with a SPUN UPPER i use a different booster. The shallow booster is best used with a spun upper it provides more room for the MOD!!!

Renzo, please have some common decency, and don't pollute my build thread with your pics, like you do every other thread on this site. This all could have been done via PM directly to me, man to man, and then I may have actually listened to what you had to say. Do you see me coming into your threads, and doing what your trying to do here to me? You are the only person on any of the car forums that I visit, that does this type of thing, and some of them have a lot more going on in their shops than what you do. What does that say about you Mr.Renzo? To me it says Attention W at the very best, you don't even wanna know what it says at worst. I see now why no one stays at this site for long.

Anyway, I found the adapter that I needed to connect the third brake line to the rear of the prop valve. End of story.
