Proportion valve uses former 5-way union mounting

"S" bend in this photo was executed with Lisle bending pliers shown below. They are capable of tighter curves than the Harbor Freight tube bender (also shown below).
NOTE: this setup requires mechanical brake light switch operated off brake pedal. Stock hydraulic switch would need to be plumbed in with a Tee probably ahead of proportional valve - or with the stock 5-way fitting with some blocked ports.

Pipe - proportion valve to rear-line - approx 11"
