I just bought a 1991 Dodge B250 van. Generally in good shape, but some of the brake lines are badly rusted so I wanted to replace them. I also wanted to replace the two valve assemblies behind the drivers' side wheel on the chassis. I've spent all day trying to locate the part numbers only to find they are discontinued! There seems to be a Proportioning Valve (Part# 52004840/52004841) which has superseded model numbers and seems easy to find a new version of, and a Pressure Limiting Valve (Part# 52004016/R2004016) which I cannot find anywhere. Does anyone know where I could get the Pressure Limiting Valve from? Even if it's for a newer model, the 2500 for example, it is probably the same basic part. I am custom-making the lines so I can put a custom fitting for the PLV that is different from stock fitting.
Also, from looking at the brake lines, they seem to be SAE fittings and 3/16" dia pipe. Is that right? I've been fooled before with a GM car which turned out to be metric.....
