    Here is my dumb question of the day. When figuring brake drum size do you messure outside to outside of the drum to determine size?

    Any good sources for proprtioning valves?

    Summit or Jeg's have adjustable proportioning valves. Measure inside diameter like McRuff said.

    Thank You Mcruff & Nick. Learned I have 10" in the front, which I'll re due. Thanks to the PO for rounding out the brake lines going into the proportioning valve, little PO'ed and had to walk away.
