Brake Proportioning Valve

[Blazenkiwi]

Hi guys, wondering if anyone here knows where to purchase a new brake proportioning valve for a 1985 K5 (Diesel Engine) they used to have them at LMC, the part number was 34-4054, but they don't stock them anymore, they only do the ones for the Disc Brake all round modified type, no need to tell you guys that getting parts like that down here in NZ is a bit of a mare , any help appreciated

I recently was shopping for a new one myself, napa and dealer said discontinued. I hope someone gets back with good news on this one.

Never dealt with either of these outfits, but I ran across them while looking for another brake part.
If you want the original, this looks like your best bet.

If you have a non-stock setup you are trying to tune, this place might be better.

Be sure to check out the other stuff they have in case you see something else you can use.

Oops, forgot about inline tube. Thanks, Cegusman.
Bad part is, I have done business with and forgot them anyway.

Go to Year One's website, click on 67-87 Chevy Truck, then search for part # QR42. That's the one for disc front/drum rear combo. $65 plus shipping.

Brilliant result guys, I have ordered the part through Year One, Carolina classic trucks are on holiday at the mo, so all I got was an automated email telling me i'd have to wait, it would cost you guys $65 bucks with a few buck for shipping - with shipping, it costs us third world **** hole people $118.50, still not too bad cos we aint got them down here in ****holesville, once again thanks for the help guys

I have always dealt with inline tube. Never had an issue.

 

[stunter2boy79]

so it will still work with drum in the rear for now?

 

[Recon!]

It should work no problem, you'll just have to fine tune it a bit
