Im making the move to a Adjustable PV and wanted to ask a few things and see some pics of where you guys mounted yours. I bought the Baer unit and was thinking under the MC, but am open to ideas. I also wanted to ask about the adjusting part, are these things pretty solid once adjusted? Seems it would be pretty easy to bump and change the setting if your not carful. Lastly, setting it up. Baer instructions are pretty basic so I wasn't sure if someone could add to there experience with setting one up. Thanks

Car info: 4 wheel disc, Baer T4 front and Wilwood D152 rear, Wilwood 1" tandem MC, 9" single booster, and electric vac pump.

Mine is mounted in the rear where the original non adjustable valve use to be. When I ordered my stainless brake lines, there was an option for a "2 piece line." Sure enough, when I took the body off the frame, there was a valve bolted to the rear crossmember. I put my valve there and it is pretty easily accessible just by reaching under the car. Once it is set, you shouldn't have to mess with it, unless you change something in the system, like different pads or bigger tires, etc...

I like them on the firewall, if you can mount it there cleanly. I've also found that once set, you tend not to mess with it, especially on a street car.

Wilwood makes a valve and bracket that mounts right where the master bolts on.

Art Morrison sells a bracket and lines that tuck the valve underneath the M/C....

I will second the Wilwood PV. It comes as a kit with the necessary lines to connect it to a Willwood MC.

I am getting ready to switch to a hydraboost...I hope the Wilwood valve and bracket will still work.
