The rear will always brake well enough to go through an MOT without the bias valve as that only reduces the pressure to the rear. Without the valve you will have way too much rear brake.
Only use one valve on the single line to the rear and split it afterwards. Its near impossible to get two valves balanced if you run a split line to the rear.
Most MOT testers will be funny if the bias valve can be accessed inside the car, so unless you have a friendly MOT tester I would put it in the spare wheel well or in the boot somewhere and take the lines to each side from that.
I make brakes / braided lines ect for work, so if your stuck for anything give me a shout :thumbs:
i just moved in Maidstone and taking down my corsa down here soon , and will take out servo and put the bracket for 2 master cylinders, front and rear and will need help with brake lines cos i done rear brake conversion too. i will pay, just help me to find all the right fitting tips etc, dont want copper pipes, will do braided hose line from front to rear etc.

I have the cheapest (Allstar) bias valve of eBay and copper lines t"'d off at the back with good ridge beaded hoses and it stops like a dream

is there much of a difference in the bias valves on ebay apart from the price?
Is there much setting up with the wilwood valve to make sure it brakes enough for MOT?

I have in car brake lines. They go up the car in a single line then tee off. I have a wildwood bias valve near my gear stick. Don't know if it helps you but I have one.

Im doing a c20xe project at the minute as i bought a shell from a mate that had given up on a project..
He had stripped the interior and run a single brake line through the car to the rear and T'd off to each side for the rear drums.
Im more of a corsa c person so upon doing some research on the setup of the B it can be either using the likes of a wilwood bias valve or using the distribution block and the 2 valves at the rear alxle instead of the load sensor.
I was wondering has anyone used the C bias valve which has the 2 connections on it (im not fully sure of the name of these so please correct me) to run to the rear brakes but i would have to block one of them off as theres only one line down the car..
Or am i better off going with a wilwood bias valve to save hassle?
Thanks
Sean
